Hello everyone,
I'm new here and want to introduce myself. I've been suffering from anxiety and stress all of my life. When I was a child, I was mainly anxious of losing my parents and/ or friends. I had social phobia and dog phobia. When I got older I got afraid of many little things (generalized anxiety) and a few years ago started to have panic attacks. I tried Effexor a few years ago for 6 months, but it didn't make me feel different and I quit taking it. I've been to several psychologists over the last 10 years, but it hasn't helped me that much either. I have been able to work, but have also been unemployed for some years due to fatigue. Now I only work 3 of the 4 days I'm supposed to work.
Now I'm looking for support, tips and more, and hope to find some here. I would also love to learn about how you deal with the fatigue that anxiety and panic bring and whether you're able to work. I guess I'd better search and post about that in another thread when I feel like it.
Best wishes to all,
Phoebe
