Hi,
My name is Nicola and I'm a 37 year old mother of one.
I've been suffering anxiety and depression over the past three years and am currently going through a bad patch.
It would be nice to hear from others in similar situations as I just feel so alone. My husband, friends and family are excellent but none of them really understand.
I really worry about my health and suffer from terrible panic attacks even though rationally I know what they are and can sometimes stop them. I was even admitted to hospital before Christmas as I actually thought I was having a heart attack and had all the symptoms but they couldn't find anything - this was when I was officially diagnosed with anxiety.
Am taking 60mg of prozac but wonder if it is working fully? Shouldn't I feel okay all of the time when I'm on medication?
Sorry if it all seems a bit disjointed but I'm nervous about posting as it is something I haven't done before.
Love to hear from you.
