Hello, I'm new

[Cazza50]

Just thought I would say hello as I am new to this site.

I suffered from major health anxiety for about a year up until 10 or so months ago. It started when I developed a number of health problems, but although nothing life threatening, I still worried constantly about it. Before then I just had general anxiety issues for about 4 years after being burgled and then suffering bad nightmares.

For ten months I have been fine, but last week it all came back. I feel constatly dizzy, like I am not quite all there, or walking on air, its hard to describe, its really getting me down. I think I know deep down that its all in my head but when these feelings came back, I wasn't depressed or stressed at all, they just seemed to come out of nowhere!

The doctor has suggested I try citrolopram again for a month, hopefully that will sort me out!

Take care and hope you will find lots of support here.

Hi,
I know what it feels like to be doing well and then bang it is back. I also experience the not quite all there sensation. It is horrible.
