Hello All
I am new to this website and thought i would introduce myself. I won't go into all the detail as it would be War & Peace, but basically i was dianosed with Anxiety 2½ years ago and only now am i receiving CBT for it. I have Health Anxiety and a fear of death and dying, and other issues. It all started when i was having a stressful day at work and when i left i came over all lightheaded and dizzy that scared me sooo much. I went to the Dr and he said it was Vertifo, i told him no as i have had that and this is different, anyway after a few monthsof this and back and forth to the Dr he finally diagnosed Anxiety which has escalted and Manifested into HA. I have an issue with accepting this and need to be in control but working with the Counsellor i have to learn to let go. I keep needing reassurance that it is Anxiety and not something else. I am on 30mg of Citalopram and although they are working an i seem to have more good days thatn bad now i still cannot 100% accept that i have anxiety. I was always the strong minded one and let things go over my head, but apparently we are more susceptible to suffering with a mental health issue as our Barrell of emotions eventually spill over. The symptoms i expereince you wouldn't beleiev and i can never accept it is tension/anxiety i am constantly looking for something else.
That's me for now.
