Hiya... have you been to your GP and asked to see a phycologist? I have seen one and what she told me to do and what she gave me to read has really helped me alot. I didn't believe in all that "talking to some stranger" but it has really helped me and I would go back again and again. Try not to let it win. I know how you feel.... it feels like someone has taken over your brain and you have lost control. Medication made me feel 100 times worse, so I tend to stay away from it now. Good luck. x

Hi,

You are certainly not alone! J

Those feelings of guilt & blaming yourself for what’s happened are similar to what I’am thinking right now. I’ve been signed off work by the GP, and feel a huge amount of self guilt and blame. “I’m a failure for being off ill” “I’m letting so many people down” e.c.t e.c.t. :weep:

He said to me the following which I found very reassuring:

“If you had broken your leg, no one would question you having time off work to get better. Just because your condition is not immediately visible to others does not mean you are a failure, please don’t feel guilt”

The tunnel may seem to have no light at the end, but there IS LIGHT….. Its just so so damn frustrating and painful to find it sometimes.:doh:

Take Care

Hi Kaz, sorry you feel so low, but you can get through this. Have you tried homepathic remedies, they really really helped me. Stopped the shakes, stopped the nausea and helped reduce the all consuming fear. I used to feel like i was going completely mad, that no.one understood how i was feeling. Used to be too scared to even close my eyes incase something happened or i wouldn,t wake up. BUT somehow i,ve got through it and realised that life is worth fighting for. And fight it we have to. Please research the homeopathic remedies, i cannot praise them enough. Hope your feeling a bit better and you must realise when you read this forum that you are not alone. Take Care x x

Don't give up hope. Trust me when I say I have been much worse than you but now I am getting better. My dr tried lots of combinations of medications for over 6 months and they did not work. He referred me eventually to a psychiatrist who took me off all my meds and started me on an SNRI-(venlafaxine) and diazepam. They work! I take zopicone and olanzapine for sleep at night. They work too. I had not slept for months. Don't think that you can't go back to the dr and ask for something else to try. I have been off work sick since december last year. Its soul destroying to add guilt etc to what you are already going through, so please don't do it. I was bed bound for over 3 months and felt I could not take any more, but here I am trying to tell you that there will be some meds that will help you and if necessary ask for a referral to a specialist. There is no shame in depression or anxiety. It can happen to anyone. Lots of hugs xxx:hugs: :hugs: :hugs:

Hi
I take Aconite for the anxiety, i take Arsen Alb for my upset stomach. I have a combination for my emotional anxiety. Do you have a good homeopath near you. Mine has helped me so much. I have had stuff to help with my headaches as well. Hormonal ones cos i get worse at different times of the month. I have to say that my anxiety at the oment is really good. I haven,t taken any meds for over a week now. Hope this might encourage you and others to try them.
