Hi all
I started with anxiety attacks in May this year.
I've never had anything really as bad as this before....only thing I can liken it to a little is when I had post natal depression ...but that was 30 years ago!!!
I did suffer mild (ish) depression a couple of years ago when my mum passed away but this is VERY different and has crept up on me from nowhere and smacked me over the head!
I am currently on week 7 of 20 mg of citalopram and after an initial bumpy couple of weeks of side effects have...for the last 4 weeks been feeling much calmer and happier and much more 'me' .....till 2 days ago!!.....then wham!...back to waking up at 5 feeling jittery and sobbing till my throat hurts and my eyes sting
I was like this at the beginning of my taking of Cit for 2 whole weeks I literally shook like a jelly and sobbed every morning...it was torture
So....when I started again with waking and feeling the familiar angst...and then proceeded to sob I was and am distraught after feeling so well for all those weeks I feel like I have slipped right back to square one?!:scared10
I'm praying this is just a blip and happier times will indeed be back again soon?
I find reading about others experiences on here comforting that I am by far the only one having a struggle
May I wish each and every one of you well very soon x
