Hi Welchy,

Wecome : - ]

I have only just found this site a few weeks ago but there's loads of great advice and info.

I suffer with anxiety panic & a mild depression so i know what its like.

I know what u mean about medication though. i rely on the natural remedies now & i think they do help. whether it's pysological or not i don't know but if it works who am i to argue with my brain!

I hope u r feeling better & remember u r not alone!

Take Care & Stay POSITIVE!

Dear Welchy,

Most peoples reaction is 'get a grip' . I was so good at getting a grip- constantly , I ended up with panic.

You can do without medicine or you can take it to help you have a ' break ' from panic. Depression is often linked. 60% of peole have both. Often get depressed after feeling anxiety is limiting them so much.

If you're coping , the without meds is possible- keep believing that you are not losing any marbles - I was totally convinced I was and it turns out I wasn't at all and I am as I was before.

Check out the website pages linked to this. Try natural herbal remedies if you want a boost but not anything strong.

Hiya Welchy,

Welcome!!!

I think it is easy for people to say - 'get a grip' I was told it a few times myself - along with 'whatever it is will pass'!!
I'm glad you feel less like you are loosing your marbles - I remember that feeling well and I must admit it was very hard to deal with.

This site is great and has been a life line for many of us who were really low through anxiety/panic/depression etc, it certainly does help that others understand. Feel free to ask us anything

I'm glad you don't feel so much now that you are loosing your marbles
