New girl

[mrscats]

Hello, my name is Hannah. I'm 24 and suffered with lifelong chronic anxiety, panic, phobic and OCD behaviour and reactive depression. :wacko:
Having a bad relapse at the moment. Was desperate for some like minded people and found this which I hope is going to help a bit.
I am quite shy and nervous around people in real life and online so I will come out of my shell as soon as I can.
I currently take fluoexetine, diazepam and zopiclone to help keep me calm. Does anyone else have any experiences of these and if they give a good outcome?
I am lucky to have support from my fiancee but I think even he is at his wits end now.
Any friendly banter/hugs appreciated.
Thank you for reading my ramble, hope it made a little sense. :blush:

Hiya Hannah

I am a newbie on here myself, so thought I would say hello and hope you get lots from the forum. I am bothered with chronic depression, along with OCD and phobias too, I had a bit of a 'mental meltdown' myself a few years ago, so I can understand how you're feeling. My advice is to take each day, each moment at a time, don't put too much pressure on yourself and enjoy the things that make you happy whenever you get the chance too. - Here's a friendly hug for you! :hugs:

Hi Princesshanny,

Welcome to NMP. I too suffer from anxiety and a tad bit of OCD since I was a child. I'm not on the meds you are but found ones that worked for me. Counseling helped me too. This site will help as many people will be able to relate to how you are feeling and you will get their support. Take your time and you will be able to post questions and even help others. I'm glad you found us.

Take care,

Laura
