RIGHT, EVERYONE PLEASE READ AND RESPOND BELOW xx
Hi everyone, Hope everyone is ok as can be, god i hate anxiety, it really does destroy peoples lives. I wish anxiety would just disappear, but if i think like that forever, it'll never go! Lol!
So... now for the acceptance bit... I have to accept this is happening, which so far im doing rly well at, and then accept i can and will get better, thats the hard bit.. But if i just look back 4 months ago at my life:
4 months ago: Nervous Breakdown after years of stress & post natal depression, up to 8 panic attacks a day, constant anxiety, constant awful physical symptoms.
2 months ago: REFERRED FOR CBT (been doing this for 2 months... amazing!! MEDICATION: CITALOPRAM 20mg. Really good stuff!!) Still alot of anxiety but gradually getting into a better frame of mind about anxiety.. panic attacks down to a couple a week.. :-)
Now: CBT ongoing. Starting to accept anxiety and i dont let the physical symptoms affect my life anymore, I still worry sometimes but i refuse to let them affect me like before, i would worry sooo much i wouldnt go out and thought i was dying all the time.. I rarely have an attack, cant remember my last one :-)
The aim of my post is to show how far ive come, not how much further i may have.. But i must admit, i cant wait to get rid of this horrible illness!!
So, how is everyone & how far have YOU come??
