Hi guys,
Firstly i would just like to say hello, i have just joined, hope you are all well. Reason i am posting is i feel like i am slipping back down the path i was once on. About 2 years ago i had a very bad case of anxiety which came from my very first panic attack. To this day i have still only had this 1 proper attack, i have managed to control any others that seem to start, dont ask me how! I was put on citalopram 20mg and it seemed to really sort my life out, so much so i came off it about 8 months ago. I felt so much better that i decided to just stop taking them, i didnt really wind myself down. Up until about 3 weeks ago i have been fine, then all of a sudden all these anxious/panicky feelings came back out of nowhere. I was on a stag weekend in Munich and had a slight panic attack, my first in about 1 year. Since then i have not been myself, my head feels full and i am worried, i dont know what im worrying/stressing over. My guess is im worried about getting ill again. I am thinking about going back on medication but i really do not want to do this. I have also been dieting and exercising hard for the last 6 months, i have managed to lose just under 2 stone. Could this be a factor? Am i maybe not eating enough? Any thoughts would help.
Thanks
