Dear Sally I'm sorry that you are feeling like this. I notice that you are new to the forum and I wish you a belated welcome. There are many young people who can relate to the feelings that you describe. The anti depressants will take a few weeks for you to feel any benefit from them. Even after six years you can still be feeling grief about your Nanas death. She was a very important person in your life? Even though I dont go in myself after a week of membership of nmp you will be able to use the chatroom and find much support there. Tryto be a little less hard on yourself. There is much support to be gained from here.

:) hi sally,
im a new member 2day im 24 so still young like you,i just read your message and thought i would reply,im on citalopram have been for a while now i think they take the edge off your anxiety and you do start to feel better,it took me years to take medication because i thought it would mean i was weak but,without them it felt like i was never getting any better but now im rebuilding my confidence,slowly but im getting there i just need a bit of help from medcine thats all,and thats what you should try to think.
hope this advice helps x
