Hi everyone,
Just stopped by after googling a few panic issues.
I'm Chris, 34m, UK.
Always been a bit of a worrier, always thinking, always over analysing everything.
Today I'm about to start a course of sertraline. Was nearly put on this two years ago but decided I'd try a bit harder to rationalise my problems.
Over the last year it's been getting harder and harder. Particularly at home where I live in a upstairs flat. The downstairs neighbours are complete selfish sods and bang doors all the time and I now have kids hanging around the front. I live with my fiancee Erin but it's really getting us both down. The other day, I was just about to go to the gym when I heard kids outside (17 to 18 year olds), immediately, my heart felt like it was trying to break through my rib cage! I had to wait for them to go and then I calmed down.
The tipping point for me to go on to medication was when I realised, the way I react to problems is now being passed on to Erin.
I don't drink much except at weekends where I tend to binge a bit.
I'm a bit worried how sertraline will react to alcohol. I can drink a full bottle of wine (like last night) without feeling overly drunk but I worry that from today, any alcohol could make me bad.
I have my Stag Do coming up in Augsut too!
Anyway, that's a bit about me.
Cheers,
Chris.
