Hi,
I'm new to this forum, but not new to anxiety. I've suffered with GAD since puberty (which was a loong time ago), and with occasional bouts of some OCD elements and hypochondria. Until two months ago I always managed to someow pull through without help, but then the stresses of recent years were crowned with a very difficult time at work, and that plunged me into a series of panic attacks and brought me to the verge of complete breakdown. I'm now on 20mg Prozac which seems to work, but, as I was duly warned by my GP, did not take the problems entirely away. I am planning on going into CBT, once I work out a way to get PM sessions that I could go to so that my employer is none the wiser - anti-discrimination act non withstanding. I've read some of the posts here, and it this place looks like a good place to exchange experiences and techniques of coping.
Regards,
Jelly
