Hi everyone thought I would post an update as found reading other people stories very helpful. 8 months ago I left my husband and our army quarter with my son to start a fresh, a,though is fresh start was taken over by severe anxiety. I wouldn't go out the house, wash, eat, or even do simple playing with my son. I was a mess, a wreck, and felt out of control of my body and mind. I wasn't me anymore. Drs prescribed citalopram and after a few months of struggling I found myself one day just walking to the shop with my boy, me.... Walking on my own to the shops!!! Was a huge step, I got home and then panicked because I didn't panic while I was walking...... Now 8 months on I've been on 2 short weekend breaks with my dude, I take him to the park, soft play, round friends houses etc I feel I am a stronger woman again, don't get me wrong, I get little reminders of that anxiety still exists but I literally tell myself each time it is happening that it's ok I've to through it before and I'll do it again, I'm still taking my citalopram 40mg but am going to try slowly reducing them now and see what happens. Stay positive everyone love to you all xxxxx:hugs::D
