Hi i am cate new to this forum. I have suffered pretty much alone for the last 6 years with my anxiety. All started when pregnant with my daughter who is nearly seven. Started having panic attacks around 6 months pregnant which wa a shock as never worried about my health before and now every niggle was a liife threatening disease!! I was diagnosed with post natal depression so put on venlafaxine which helped initially then i needed something different so was put on citalopram 20mg which worked to start with but i feel lately that i am going insane!! Hot flushes cold sweats chest pains palpitations blurred vision, ibs playing up etc, i have just broken up with my ex and been stressed with some assignments but its really getting me down!! I am waiting for my CBT to start which takes forever but i have heard wonderful things about it can anyone else give me some tips as to stop feeling like im going to die!!! My family are totally bored of hearing that i dont feel well or i have a pain somewhere so i dont say anything anymore. I know my anxiety is worse when im not occupied more time to focus on the aches and pains i guess but surely this is not it for me for rest of my life i want to be me again!!!!
Im also a student nurse which u may find odd but when i focus on caring for others its less time thinking of my own problems!!
