Hi everyone
I've suffered with anxiety and depression for years and unfortunately going through a really rough patch at the moment. I had everything under control for years but my life has started to unravel again. I have suffered with health anxiety/OCD and depression in the past but the doctor is now saying I probably have GAD and the anxiety has sort of shifted focus away from my health (that's one good thing at least). Has anyone else here shifted from specific phobias and anxiety disorders to GAD?
I've been back on sertraline for 2 weeks now but am really struggling with morning anxiety, getting to work and then staying together at work. The smallest bit of pressure results in me panicking and bursting into tears in front of everyone. This has been the pattern for some time now and it's feeding the anxiety :/ I'm panicking over getting all my work done and constantly worrying that I'm under-performing and burdening everyone :(
I'm going to be posting on here more often to help me get through it and start mending myself. It helps to get it all out and to be part of this supportive community that has helped me so much in the past :) I'm going to keep going with work but I have a lot of responsibility on my shoulders in my role and I have a huge project coming up so I think I'll keep writing little updates on here and be more active on here in general to help me through it.
