This is a great site.
It is so great to know that i am not the only one and that people out there are living with this as well.

My anxiety/panic is back and i am trying so hard for it not to take over but it is getting to me.

I am still off work and i am worried they will not support me anymore.
I am signed off by a doctor, but am stressing about that too
it's a vicious circle.

I do think i need a change of lifestyle - but i am scared to do it!

Help

Any advice greatly appreciated xxx

:) Hi sthldnboy :)

Welcome to the site - It is pretty good isn't it? You say you're on medication but I think your idea of a change of lifestyle could be just what you need, take it one step at a time - start small & go from there. Don't worry about work; deal with it if it becomes a problem rather than trying to predict whats going to happen. Good luck with it all,
Take care, CarpeDiem

Hi Carpe Diem,

Thank you for your reply x

You are right - work have put me down to half pay - and i suppose the worst they can do is fire me - i hope to be going back in 2 weeks - but it is so hard - especially at work - although they know what is wrong.

Change of lifestyle is definitely on the cards and i will take it slowly xx

How are you?
