I am Bill a 48 year old male with lifelong anxiety. Talking therapies never worked for me but alcohol certainly did. I recently detoxed from alcohol due to severe and dangerous withdrawal symptoms . I was offered support and drugs to reduce alcohol craving . But this time I decided to deal with the real issue, which is anxiety and maybe underlying depression. I have been taking propranolol which works well to control physical anxiety and today took my first Citalopram, besides an upset tummy I feel OK.
I have been successful in life, in terms of education, career etc and people always think I am very confident. I have shocked a lot of people recently by telling them I have crippling anxiety and have had a drink problem . I kind of feel better just giving up the pretence .....well , that's me
