hi everyone .. i recently discovered this site and sooo glad i did ! i wasnt sure where to post this .. hope its ok here
iv been diagnosed with severe depression and anxiety .. iv been on citalopram 40 mg for a week now - started off on 20mg .. but i feel like im getting worse .. i still havent managed to get out of the house by myself- even to the corner shops .. its been almost a month now since i was signed off work and i havent been able to leave the house since .. i dont know exactly what im scared OF .. i just know the thought of walking down the street or being in a social situation scares me sensless .. i even had a panic attack in the doctors surgery - and there was only one other lady in the room!
i feel like a freak .. im unable to go into work ..im 21 and i have no friends left .. i feel so alone .. i desperately want to be normal like every one else but it just seems impossible :weep:
sorry for rambling .. i would be v greatful for any advice from anyone in a simular situation
thanks .. lizzy x
