View Full Version : Hello
Registered yesterday and have become addicted already. Im looking for some support from people that really understand what it is to suffer from Anxiety\ Depression and everything that is entailed.
Just started on latest round of medication on this occaision Atenolol and Cipralex. Waiting for Atenelol to kick in at night too and for the Cipralex to stop competing with me to see who can create the most anxieties.
Anyway, looking forward to getting to know everyone ... but like everything else in life, feeling a bit anxious about my leap into forums and chat rooms with fellow sufferers, incase I add to my list of symptons.
Thanks everyone JO xxx

Hi Cinders
Glad you have found this site, i have found it so helpful over the months, good advice and friendly people who understand and do not judge, i haven't picked up any others symptoms since being here, read what's relevant to you, it will help take care and keep in touch.
Thank you everyone [^]
What a lovely warm welcome, I hope I am also able to offer support to many of you. I have been experiencing depression and anxiety along with panic disorder on and off for at least 12 years. ( and according to therapy.. much longer than that if Im honest).
Over the years various things have helped at various times, but at the moment Im having a flare up and nothing helps.( or so it feels).
I know I will come out the other side, the rational side of me does anyway.... But need to hold on tight in the meanwhile. Glad I found this site, although not found my way around yet.

Hi Jo,
Its great that you know about the likely sideeffects of your meds are and thats it won't kick in for a few more days yet.
We won't judge but we will encourage you to progress and move along in recovery. It sounds like its been quite a journey already for you.. Do share some of your circumstances when you're ready.
If you find that you are starting to get affected by other posts - do take a break and maybe find some support in chat.

It is not easy to find happiness in ourselves, and it is not possible to find it elsewhere.
Hi Jo, welcome, it will take a while to find your way about.
If you are worried about adding to symptoms come into chat, everybody is there if anyone has problems but usually lots of other issues are discussed and it can be extremely entertaining, it starts anytime after 7.30pm, it can get very busy.It is ok to just sit in at first if you dont feekl you want to join in, just tell them when you enter, hope to see you there, love Alexis,x

Hi Jo,
Good speaking to you in chat tonight.
I have found this site and chat so good since I joined in February and I know that you will do likewise.
Historically, I have felt undervalued and so coming here and being on a par with so many people has been tremendous.
Cheers,
Ray
