***Determined to fight this***

[M155anthr0p3]

Hi everyone!!

I'm one of those people who's been coming on the site for ages but only just got the guts to accept my anxiety disorder & sign up. Which was hard for me.

I've been taking Propranolol for 2 weeks now after finally plucking up the courage to speak to the doctor & accept that it's panic & not a tumour, a heart attack, a blood clot...etc etc etc & am starting to feel better physically but the horrid thoughts are still there.

Some of your stories have made me cry because it's so upsetting to read that someone is going through the same thing as you, but they've also inspired me to force myself better & not let this beat me!!!

I know it's going to be a long, uphill battle but I'm determined to fight it now!
