hi all
new to forums of any type so unsure of how they work but here goes... :)
I have suffered from anxiety for years. mainly health anxiety after the birth of my first child and since my second I have been getting worse and worse to the point where a recent bout of illness has crippled me and I feel like I am having a constant panic attack. doctors gave me 2mg tablets of diazepam to try to get it under control while we decide what to do long term... doesn't seem to be having much effect after it taking me 2 days to pluck up the courage to take one because I also have a fear of what tablets will do to me.
know that i have got to the point where i feel i just can't do this by myself anymore as it is out of contol. worried about going to bed tonight as last night I woke up in the middle of the night and had a horrible attack and got it into my head it will happen again.
I just want to feel better for my girls as they must be suffering having a mum who can't function properly day to day. I do my best for them but now my anxiety takes up all my life.
can anyone advise on medication and if it worked for them/how long till it works etc
thanks in advance :) xxxxxxx
