Hi all
I've just joined the site and looking for a bit of a support as I am currently in a pretty dark place.
I'm 34 have suffered with GAD since my early 20s but about a year ago I suffered a breakdown - weeks and weeks of constant panic attacks and extreme levels of anxiety. I have not really recovered, the past year has been a living nightmare where my anxiety levels seems to be very up and down (but mostly very up).
I am now feeling incredibly low and feel at the end of my tether with it. I cry a lot and still feel in shock about how much my life has changed. I cant do anything I used to enjoy.
I have tried medication but only seems to make it worse. I don't have any real physical symptoms (racing heart, sweating etc) - my anxiety mainly makes me feel completely detached from everything around me, so any medication that makes me even more like a zombie always has a negative effect.
Not quite sure I expect from coming on here - but any words of support would be greatly appreciated as my head feels like a very lonely place at the moment.
