hi mark,glad to hear you are not on drugs any more sounds like your life is going well at the moment,with the baby etc, i would go see your doctor about medication if i was you,it worked for me. good luck....

Good on you Mark for getting and staying clean.
Having a chat to your GP can help. Also understanding why you are feeling this way can help you overcome the fear that keeps us caught in the cycle.
Best of luck and Congrats on the upcoming birth of your first child!! How exciting!

Take care,

i think using recreational drugs (albeit for a relatively short time) may have started my anxiety/panic 2. is it something you should tell your gp as it can lead to better help?! ive never mentioned it due to stopping taking them over a year ago and only using them from age of 17-19 and even then only once a month or so, plus its also quite hard- i know my gp well and it'd be tough to say 'oh btw...'
