Hello everyone.
Thought I would sign up to these forums. I'm an anxiety sufferer which usually manifests itself in me vomiting and throat issues, I have no idea why or how to control it and suspect even that it may also be a physical issue as well as mental.
I'm now in my 30s and have been this way since my mid teens but it has gradually gotten worse.
For the first time in my life I have really seeked help and found a medical practitioner who I really like and explains things to me and works with me rather than dictating to me. I'm currently on Setraline, originally 50mg the past 2 months but upgraded to 100mg today. I've felt some kind of improvement on it so far, maybe more relaxed, spending more time with family rather than couped up in a room. I'm also trying to battle this as I have other long term health issues with GERD which my doctor really wants me to have tests for as I've always refused them due to my anxiety. I'm also convinced I have gallbladder issues that need looking at. Anxiety has been a pain in holding me back from everything.
Today I'm slightly disheartened as this particular practitioner whom I have just built a good rapport with has told me that the NHS are moving him to a different practice. That's a disappointment when I had been becoming more comfortable talking with them.
The battle continues.
