Hi guys this is my first post on here I'm 21 years old and have been suffering for anxiety for as long as I remember although I used to be able to control it. It's just unil recently (January) I've let everything build up and I had a nervous breakdown. I couldn't believe what was happening and still feel pretty shocked by the whole experience. I went to the doctor and he prescribed me with citalopram.. I took 10mg for a week and have been on 20mg for 6 weeks today. I feel as if I'm through the side effects but I still have a constant lingering anxiety and Nervousness I can't get off my mind. I feel like I'm obsessed with anxiety. These past few weeks I have been massively up and down with the ups not being so up really. I am so currently doing cbt which I find is helping a little but all my automatic thoughts are just doom and gloom. Any advice is welcome but please don't freak me out. Thankyou very much if anyone had the patience to actually read through that life story I appreciate it x
