Hi all, I'm new here and felt that if I talked about this it might make me feel better.
A few of years ago I had problems with anxiety, it seemed to completely take over my life and it lasted for months on end. But then, gradually, I managed to overcome it, it took months but finally I got back to feeling like my old self again.
That was way back in late 2008, and I've felt fantastic since then, well up until the last month or so anyway. I began to feel anxious again about a week after new year, I think it was brought on because I had a mild ear infection, so there was this constant ringing noise in my left ear. I was finding it difficult to sleep and because of this I was feeling tired and just generally depressed. The doctor proscribed me the suitable anti-biotics and within a couple of weeks my ear infection had cleared up... the trouble is my anxiety didn't disappear with it.
I've took a bad turn in the last week, with constant fears about going insane, and this horrible detached feeling, as though I'm living in a dream world. I've heard about this sort of thing before, and its not nice.
My Dad also suffered from anxiety when he was my age so I think this could be genetic, he's managed to beat it all now but I need abit of help to get over the finishing line.
