Hello

[Onlyme]

Hi Folks

43 year old male, suffered from anxiety, depression, agrophobia, etc for a good 10+ years. Although I've never actually taken a single drug for the conditions, preferred to suffer than getting hooked on some medication, apart from the odd herbal tablets you can buy from the chemist.

Ive hid my condition from friends for years and it has stopped me working and generally enjoying life for the period I've suffered from it, but I've had enough now, I need to confront it now and try and master beating the thing.

Its hard for me writing this for some reason, I guess its the "shame" factor that anxiety gives us when admiting these things.

:welcome: to NMP. Many here feel as you do. There is a brilliant book called 'self help for your nerves' by Dr claire Weekes available from the NMP shop and also free downloads of Dr Weekes in the shop to get you started. I cannot recommend this enough as it really explains what is happening to us and how we can recover.Glad you have found us.
