Moderate anxiety and depression was the outcome of today's assessment. Not too sure how I am feeling at the moment but glad that I am going to be getting some support with it soon. Hopefully on the road to recovery.

Thanks. I am starting on antidepressants tomorrow and I've got a few appointments booked at the doctors over the next few weeks. The doctor was ever so good- very supportive and reassuring. I burst into tears during the day many times and it all got too much at the doctors but nothing was too much trouble for him. Today made such a difference to the other day when I spoke to a very rude woman- mental health services should make you feel valued not have a go at you when your going through a tough time. I've got to have a esg but hoping the chest pains is just another one of my symptoms. I've got a week off work next week which should help and hoping to get back on track soon.I am actually feeling more positive to say I was in tears again today and work was a big reason towards how low I was feeling. Onwards and upwards.

I was where you are 2 months ago (but with high anxiety/panic and depression). Doc was great. I feel much better now than I did then.

I wish you the best!

Thanks. Did you get sharp pains in your chest ? I guess it's our bodies way of dealing with the stress and it can be really bad. I am glad you are a lot better now then you were.

I didn't get chest pains now....I did physical shake though.

I've got muscle ache all around my ribs and sometimes around my back, neck and legs. It can be agony at times and pain killers badly knock it. I keep getting stabbing pains in my chest and sudden sharp pains going down my side.
