Hello everyone. I have just summoned up the courage to join this forum after a long time dipping in and out. Im a 33 year old woman I have been anxious and scared for most of my life. I have been told I suffer from Generalised Anxiety Disorder.
I have let anxiety and fear take over my life so much so It has stopped me and is stopping me living my life. I just tend to go through the motions its just about getting through the day for me. Im a nervous wreck most of the time its exausting. I cant really talk about it with friends I just put on a very good act. Ive ruined most of my relationships with the way I am.
I have been on various anxiety medications over the years and they dont seem to have helped. I am not taking any medications at the moment. I have had CBT which doesnt seem to help me. I have started seeing a psychotherapist who has recommended I try EMDR therapy I had never heard of it before and after reading about it Im just not sure sounds a bit scary. I would really like to talk to people who understand
Thanks,
Lou
