Hi all,
Im new to the site, been looking for something like this for ages and now I've finally found it :). Well Ive been suffering with anxiety for just over 2 years now, its a nightmare really and im finding it so debilitating. Ive actually bunked off work today because I couldn't bring myself to go in and overcome the 'constant butterflys' that have been with me since I woke up, I just hvnt got the energy to push myself today.
So my story in a nutshell, I'm 26 years old and when I left university to enter the real world I landed what I thought would be my dream job - it turned out not to be and I had the worst boss in the world. I was under a lot of stress and had no support - this is where my problems began. One day at work I was physically sick - doctors put it down to stress - well now I know that it is linked to my anxiety - thats what happens now if I have a really bad attack, im physically sick often for a week unable to keep anything down, its nasty.
Two years of suffering and im finally seeing who I think are the right people - im having CBT and my psychiatrist has put me on Mitazapine & Olanzapine at night and is about to start me on Venlafaxine in the morning with the aim to rule out one of the other two or even both im not sure.
Anyway im sorry if bored you there with all my details, but im new to this kind of thing - its nice to find a forum like this and I look forward to chatting to some of you soon :)
