Hi there, thought I'd introduce myself. I'm Jess, I'm 30.
I've had depression since I was about 15 and more recently I have developed anxiety, my score on the initial assessment for my counselling was 18/21 but not sure what that means. I'm on the waiting list for CBT which apparently is 6-8 weeks.
3 weeks ago I was at works Xmas do and had my first ever panic attack. Since then I have had smaller attacks quite often, then last Wednesday at work I had a big one that lasted 40 minutes. They sent me home and I have been off work since. However, I have found myself unable to go out of the house, whenever I come to having to leave the house I have a big panic attack again.
I've been put on citalopram and propranolol but not feeling anything from them yet. I don't know what to do about work, they're expecting me back tomorrow but I an panicking just thinking about it. Yet I can't stay off as I can't afford to because we don't get sick pay!!
So yeah, don't know what to do!!
