Hi all,
I've registered as I have had 3 periods within the last 5 years of really bad GAD.
This time I've been suffering since April this year and have high anxiety and panic attacks almost daily.
I'm on citalopram which has helped in the past but doesn't seem to help this time although I've only been on a full 20mg dose for 4 weeks, am also on diazepan which I can take when I need it as my GP was worred about the amount of weight I've lost as I have no appetite.
I'm just starting CBT, regular exercise and am learning to meditate too. Some days like today I feel so hopeless.
By registering on here I'm just looking for some support from people who understand how awful GAD can make you feel and wondering if there really will ever be an end to this hell.
