Just wanted to say Hello
I'm Charlotte , im 23 and im a sufferer of anxiety and depression
I have been suffering on and off since i was 16, but its only since i was 20 that i did something about it
My last episode was in January 2006,started after a burgular came into my parents house after my sons 1st birthday and stole my video camera and my digital camera, all for the sake of some heroin. 3 weeks later i moved house and started to freak out 4 days after we moved
i gradually got better with the help of my very good old doctor, and eventually stopped the meds (i was on citralopram 20mg)
I've been through some very trying times this year, and 2 weeks ago (tonight in fact) i woke up after about 3 hours of sleep, red hot, sweaty hands and feet , and it hasnt gone away since :(
Im worrying about everything and anything, inlcuding thinking i am some sort of pyschopath, and worried about my breathing as its quite wierd atm
Im back on meds, but this time on citralopram 10mg (dr has told me to up it to 20mg but im scared lol)
I keep telling people this is it for me, im loosing my hearing and my sight etc but thats because i read something about shallowed breathing and its scared me as i cant seem to regulate my breathing again
I have no appetite atm, and no interest in anything, i am on the verge of loosing my job! and i cant really afford to do that, but im too scared to go into work! :weep:
Im very clingy to family i wont let family members leave me this afternoon i have sat with my dad near enough all evening , my partner has just about had enough :doh:
My dr told me about this website so it hought id come and be nosey and i have decided to post!
Thats just a little bit about me
i hope i can find peace somewhere and stop this once again xx
