:DHi there everyone just thought i would give a bit more info about me as i seem to be sending a few replies that i hope will help.
I hope i dont waffle too muchbut here goes,i am 32 and have two kids heaven-leigh who is 6 and jacob who is 4 and am lucky to be a stay at home mum.I dont really think i would be able to work though as sometimes bad days creep up on me but then again sometimes i think that if i worked i would have less time to fret and worry about things but would have to increase my confidence first but if i worked it would increase my confidence.A bit of a catch 22 situation really but when my son starts primary school in september i think i will do something even if it is voluntary to get me out of the house as some days i struggle and if it wasnt for the kids might possibly stay at home permanent.
At the moment i wouldnt say i suffer from actual panic attacks but anxiety attacks but if they reach a high then i get the physical symptons but thats when its really bad.I take 50mg sertraline and 30mg propanolo at the moment but inthe past ten years have also taken seroxat which was great at the time and citalopram,my meds have changed as i have come off the tablets but my anxiety has hit a high and have gone to the docs and they prescribe something different,my doctor is really good if a little over generous with tablets at times.I have just started a refresher course of cbt after my anxiety started bad last june but has taken until now to get to see a counsellor and feel quite good now but do need to push myself more and go out to more faraway places.
Anyway thats it for now feel free to ask any questions and hope i havent waffled for too long.
