Hello people

[Kate21]

Hi eveyone I'm kate.
I have just been put on citalopram yesterday to help with anxiety/depression.
My first bout of anxiety was in school when i was 15 (i'm 21 now) I had to leave school and then attempted college but had to drop out due to panic attacks and social phobias.

I then made pretty much a full recovery with EMDR and even managed to go travelling for a year, some of it by myself. So I felt all confident and good again.

But now I feel I'm almost back to square one again, I finally told my manager at work and went to the GP, but I feel all my hard work getting better last time has just been wasted :-(

Anyway So glad I found this site, the social phobia info is helping me finally understand a bit about what i'm frightened of and that i'm not alone.
