Feel a bit crap for flooding the forum with my problems as of late. Difficult to know what else to do.
For anyone who hasn't read my previous thread I split up with my girlfriend last night and had possibly the biggest panic attack I can remember. By 3am I was tired, confused and completely lost. For the first time in my life I actually considered cutting myself. I've never remotely thought about it before but I needed a release for my pain and anxiety. Fortunately I didn't do anything. The very thought of it gave me a shock that I actually considered it. My wrists became hot as if to tell me where to cut (sorry that's quite graphic) but I am proud that I saw sense.
I went to the doctor this morning and she has signed me off work for a few days and told me if I feel as if I want to self harm I should go straight to A&E. She's issued me with some Propranolol to control my anxiety. Has anyone has any experience with this medication? I think at the moment it may be helping. Once again sorry for going on, I find it comforting at the very least to get my thoughts written down.
