I dived in with several posts without really introducing myself.
I know everyone loves their own story, ours are always the most interesting aren't they? But i'll spare you mine.
What I will say is, I have experienced anxiety and associated depression since childhood and very badly since my teens.
Despite this I have lived a relatively normal life, run a business and some areas of my life are quite functional.
My anxiety levels are very high though, in the doctors alarm bells category. Although i have had it for so long now I sort of put up with it at a level that perhaps someone getting it for the first time would deem intolorable.
I guess that is why I called my self the trooper, because I just keep on, keeping on.
I'm in my 30's now, i see a psychotherapist twice a week and have just gone onto citalopram (third time lucky on anti depressants). I'm still positive, I still think I can find a calm place and have a content life one day.
Or at least get as many cheap drugs from the doctors as possible if I can't.
My business is going through some tricky times at the moment, so I may not be able to come on here as much as I would like.
But I'll try my best to offer as much advice and support as I ask for.
Cheers and get well soon one and all.
