Hey, just saying a BIG hello to everyone here. I registered a couple of weeks ago but am only now typing my first post. I have problems with anxiety, have done for many years. It seems to be getting worse. I went to the doctors two years ago who wanted to put me on antidepressants, but I opted to try counceling instead which helped for a little while. So, leaving it untreated isn't doing me any favours, I'm just worried about the side effects. My husband was on them for a few years and he was always tired and I must say, they didn't seem to make too much difference. He did have mood swings on them.
I mainly have problems socially, I constantly worry about what people think of me and if I have upset anyone. I am afraid to speak out. I haven't laughed hard for, well, I can't remember the last time, 7 years maybe. I can't let anyone get to really know me, I seem to have my defences up all of the time. I long for a good friend - I do have a couple of good friends but I find it hard to even relax in their company. Even my husband must think I am boring because all I do is moan.
I used to be bubbly, I feel I have lost my spark, I have lost myself.
Anyway, on an UP note, I am glad to have found this place, I look forward to chatting with you all and I'm sure I can find support here and hopefully offer some to others too.
Thanks for reading,
