Hi everyone,
I have just found this site and so far has been very helpful to realise that I am not the only one feeling like this.
I have just got back from my GP who has given me Citalopram. I have been feeling low for weeks now, things getting on top of me. I had a major panic attack while doing a presentation at work a couple of weeks ago and am now petrified of this happening again. My job involves presenting to large groups and I have always enjoyed doing this - so can't understand what's happening to me.
I have had lots of stress over the last few years. I had breast cancer diagnosied when I was 39 and we struggled through this whilst bringing up our 2 daughters. But I have made a full recovery and had reconstructive surgery and everything. I coped then so I can't understand why I am not coping now!
We have had a stressful house move and my Dad is ill. I have also handed in my notice from my job and start a new one in January - so there's been lots of life-changing things going on lately.
My Gp hasd referred me for CBT to cope with my panic/anxiety and I am hoping to hear soon. I have been unable to get to work this week due to feeling so depressed, I feel like I am letting everyone down.
I am anxious about taking the Citalopram but can see no other way to sort this out.
