Hello Everyone,
I found this site after reading Nicola's article in the Daily Mail.
I am 60 years old, married with one married daughter and two lovely grandchildren. I first suffered health anxiety in my early twenties. I think it had a lot to do with my mum dying when I was thirteen and my dad when I was twenty one ( six weeks after the birth of my daughter).
After a lot confusion I was eventually prescribed Anafranil and I took it for about twelve months. It worked very, very well and I was O.K for about the next 30 years.
When I reach my fifties my anxiety came back with a vengeance - probably due to the menopause, a lot of changes in my life and one traumatic experience.
In the last 5 - 6 years I have tried other therapies including EMDR.
Having read some of the posts, I am very curious about EFT. This appeals to me as it is something I can use myself. I have quite a few hospital appointments in the next few months and i think this could help me to control my anxiety. I would be grateful for anyone's views on this therapy.
I've been reluctant to post because I'm very nervous at the moment and I am SO MUCH OLDER than all of you.
I have read many of your posts and can see that you are a very caring and kind group of people. I look forward to getting to know you all.
