Hello, I have been lurking on here and it's made me aware once again of just how many of us suffer the dreaded anxiety! I've had GAD since I was 20, I'm now 36. I manage it well usually (citalopram, plenty of sleep, yoga, walking) but for some reason I've had a flare up in the last week or so. Ten days ago, I started taking desogestrel (progesterone only pill) to help with my hormonal migraines which I get for 1 week of every month. My anxiety is taking over my thoughts lately, last night I got in a vicious cycle of repetitive thoughts, couldn't sleep till 2am. It might be the pill? Any experiences here?
The other problem is that it's very hot here at the moment. I suffer in the heat as do my two lovely black Labs - poor things. I've been taking them swimming every day which helps them. I feel trapped indoors at the moment because if I go out, I feel ill and I get heart palpitations. I just want this heat to stop!
Anyone else have anxiety due to the heat? It makes my thoughts all confused and I feel so tired!
