Worried All the Time

[jane waters]

Hi my panic and anxiety has returned again. I have had 3 other episodes before, the last time being 5 years ago. This episode started just after christmas this year and I feel I am progessively getting more and more anxious as time goes by. Now I am having panic attacks too. My sleep is basically non existant now and I feel anxious all day long and have no appetite but Im still managing to go about my daily activities. In the past I was prescibed anti-depressants that I found helpful (Dothiepin). Do you think I need these agian? At the moment Im an expat living in Saudi Arabia where my husband is currently working which doesnt make getting a prescription very easy. Im scared I will go mad if I dont get some help.
In need of some advice and support please xx

Read about pyroluria, you have some of the symptoms, anxiety, insomnia and loss of appetite. This dx changed my life and I hope it changes yours too.

Hello,

I was informed about the samaritans myself and have just looked on their website. It has a part that says if you live abroad and a website you can go onto for support and maybe a telephone number to talk to someone.So I thought that may give you a little help.
Its awful when you feel low, I feel awful daily and hope to get better.You can too!
