hello there,
as you may have gathered im new to this forum and have been suffering from anxiety. I have been suffering now since August last year.
I have always been a worrier, the littlest things have always seemed the biggest to me. But back in August it seemed to just escalate into something alot worse. I feel abit silly talking about what triggered it but basically I hadn't watched the news in years, literally not bothered with it. Then I started seeing things going on in the world around us and it started making me more and more and MORE anxious.
before I knew it the panic attacks kicked in, its taken over every thought I have and just effects every single day of my life.
I am only 22 and I feel like its going to take over the rest of my life too which scares me even more!!
it took me a good 3 months to finally pluck up the courage to see my GP. In which I was put on propanaol and I have also signed myself up for an 8 week 'feel good' course that begins in a few weeks. I hate to say it but the tablets I am on do not help in the slightest but I am afraid to visit my GP for the second time running to tell him these aren't helping in the slightest.
sorry for the long intro but I figured it best to just put it all out there. Thankyou for reading (:
