Hi all
I'm new!
you can call me kat, i'm female, 40 and live and work in the uk
i've had anxiety related issues for ages, just put up with it so far but i did see my gp a while back, he put me on cipramil which helped a bit but i wasnt on them for long; came off them after a few months, tried to do it the holistic way ie rest, exercise, healthy eating, which did work but now its come back
i do ocd type things, check, doubt, check etc and i worry all the time about work mainly and find it near impossible to switch off and relax although i do run and swim at my local sports centre which helps a bit and i try and read a book most days but it depends what my concentration's like, that and my memory are terrible at times
wow what a cheery post lol
i shouldnt grumble really, at least i'm here to moan about it
i'm so used to the anxiety now it's part of me!
anyway, any tips you can spare and hope i can offer support where i can from my own experiences which i can share
i know i should go back to my gp but im embarrassed, i know i iknow, why should i be? i just feel like sometimes i should stop thinking about myself so much and just get on with it but there you go, and other days i find it so hard to stop thinking and worrying
it does affect my job and my home life
i cant afford private therapy, well not for long,
anyway thats me
oh yes, i like music, books, cooking, keep fit and walking my dog:roflmao:
