Hi all,
I'm looking for advice and reassurance.....
I have had moderate to severe anxiety since i had glandular fevet at 14.i have had a few periods of taking citalopram 40mg which I stopped in October last year after getting married to start a family.
I had a few instances of anxiety/mild panick attacks but felt ok.
I was surprised and happy to find out I was pregnant in may!sadly a week later I began bleeding which escalated to a night of utter terror when i knew i was miscarrying.I was upset scared and was convinced I was going to collapse.I paced the floor all night,rang nhs direct who advised that there was nothing they could do. What followed was a week of shock,tiredness .but after the bleeding had stopped I accepted what had happened and returned to work the next week. Gradually over the 8 weeks I began feeling weepy,depressed,very anxious.I found myself pacing when having panick attacks,I also found it hard to sit still at work when feeling anxious.is this normal?
Over the weeks I started to convince my self that I was dying/had ms/a brain rumour or some other disease.this hit breaking point 1 n a half weeks ago.I actually had to phone my mam because I was convinced I was dying. I booked an appointment at the docs,who treated me horribly very dismissive,but ordered bloods and a ecg,which all came back clear. Since then I am back on citalopram 20mg. I have convinced myself I have vcjd which i am terrified of.I'm off work sick just sitting convincing myself I am developing symptoms.plus the first sign is anxiety and depression.I remember watching a programme when I was younger and I think they said that the woman that had it woke up just unable to eat,which I am convinced is going to happen to me.I also. have twitchy muscles all over and insomnia.so I now have convinced myself i feel unco-ordinated when eating......I am on diazapam 2mg when needed.
Help me x x
