Hi Ive not been on here for a while. In 2009 I started suffering with all day all night anxiety, I got to the point where i couldnt eat or sleep. I started taking Citalopram and slowly got better. I ve been feeling great for over a year now and even had a baby! who is now 14 months.

I booked a girls clubbing holiday to Ibiza which is somewhere ive always wanted to go. We go on wednesday for 3 nights. I was quite nervous about leaving my little girl but I know my husband would be fine looking after her so thought I would be ok, however since yesterday Ive been feeling terrible, and like i am going back to how I was! I am in tears at the moment because I feel so awful and my husband is at work and is not back till late so I havent got anyone to talk to.

I did go out last night for my birthday for a few drinks and have a slight hangover today and the nerves about the holiday have totally got out of control. I was thinking it might be the hangover making me feel so bad and the stress of worrying about leaving my daughter. Its just so horrible I cant handle going through this again as I have also got my little girl to look after. Am I getting ill again? or is the citalopram not working anymore? can anyone help please :weep::weep::weep:

Like youve said its more than likely a combination of the alcohol & nerves of leaving your daughter. I know alcohol definately affects me for a few days afterwards & youre bound to feel anxious about going away.

Try to relax as much as you can over the next few days & think positively - your daughter will be fine & youll have a great time.

By the way Im really jealous of you going to Ibiza as Ive also always wanted to go but just cant afford it. Just enjoy yourself! :yesyes:
