Hi All
Signed up for this site a few months ago while struggling with severe anxiety and panic with a bit of depression thrown in, but didn't get to do my introduction as I ended up taking some "time out" in a clinic.... Am feeling much better now, but still fighting the gremlins in my mind and was really pleased to remember this site and read about other people's experiences.
My problems started last summer after an extremely stressful year separating from my husband and coming to terms with life after marriage while looking after my two kids. In classic style I suddenly developed one-sided numbness and weird feelings in my head. One trip to A&E with overnight stay and an appointment with a neurologist later, I was sent home with the message "get some counselling". Didn't really convince my brain though as it had decided that there was something seriously wrong. Began to see the light when I noticed the symptoms flaring up every time my husband called!
Have had CBT, hypnotherapy and am on anti-depressants which have all helped me.
Well I think I am winning the battle now, but as I work from home I do feel quite lonely and have far too much time to think - never a good thing I find.
