Hi to all,
I did register with this site some time ago but didn't keep it up as I had to go into hospital for an op for cancer.....that certainly didn't help with the anxiety levels as you can imagine! Really I thought I was doing well after that and wasn't taking medication for anxiety/depression but going to counselling instead but although that was good the anxiety is back....with a vengence due I think mostely to problems in the family and Doc has prescribed Citalipram 10mg which I was on once before for a short time but I'm back to square one and a bit 'scared' to start it as I did have quite a few side effects last time. I am also on 5mg Diazepam which I usually take at night and sometimes during the day.
At the moment I just feel useless and need to talk to people who understand, my husband certainly dosn't and just says "oh not again" he maintains that I try to do too much for everyone else and don't think about myself.
Had a really bad day yesterday and today, mainly stressed out and feel ill and I know I must pluck up the courage to start the tablets but keep putting it off.
Would welcome your support please
