Hi.
Well I feel a bit like I should be at an AA meeting, I want to say Hi, I'm carrielee and I have anxiety disorder!
I think I only realised that this morning. I finally accepted that this is in me, it's with me a lot and I hate it.
So long story short, I had my first depression 22 years ago, was on antidepressants for 6 months, that's all my GP gave me. I recovered from the depression with. A struggle and despite a stressful life I never looked back. Then 6 years ago my Mum had a nervous breakdown and I've been on and off of antidepressants since. My Mum passed away two years ago, I struggled to care for my Dad he went into care, my 10 year relationship ended and a depression hit me December last year. I recently reduced my meds, I am taking fluoxetine, I see a counsellor and I was doing really well. My Dad died and still I was doing well, but all of a sudden I went down again. I have minor eye conditions that may or may not require treatment one day and despite the constant assurance that I will not go blind I get convinced that I will. So that me.
I found this site this morning and I am so grateful.
