Hi everyone
My name is Martyn and I have been visiting the site occassionally for a couple of weeks. I am diagnosed with mild anxiety and depression and haven't worked for about 3 months. My doctor, who has been very understanding, has prescribed fluoxetine which has helped the anxiety and doesn't appear to have produced any side affects. I still don't seem to have a lot of motivation though. I am registered for a course of CBT which may start in August which I feel quite positive about. Does anyone have any positive reports of CBT? I had a similar spell of anxiety about eight years ago and came through that after about 5 months purely on medication which I eventually withdrew from. I recognise now though that I need to deal with the negative thinking which has been a pattern in my life for as long as I can remember.
