Hi there,
I just found this site and thought I would introduce myself.
I am Kirsty I am 22 and suffer from generalised anxiety disorder and have been having panic attacks. I get horrible periods of derealization and dizzyness. It is the most scary and horrible feeling ever and some days I just dont want to leave the house.
I get tired and run down really easily and find it difficult to keep up with my uni work.
I have some friends but i dont feel that they really understand. I think it is difficult to understand if you have never suffered anxiety before.
I am currently on Desvenlafaxine called Pristiq and I take a herbal remedy for anxiety prescribed 3 times a day. I started accupuncture last week. I have tried CBT before which helped at the time but since I stopped going I have got much worse again. I also tried physcotherapy a few years ago but didnt feel this helped at all. it was all about dragging upp the past. WHich just made me more upset.
I dont know what else i can do / try to help myself.
:hugs:
