Hello!
Today is a big day for me.... I've finally done what I've been wanting to do for so long. I've gone to the doctors to talk about my social anxiety problem.
I've had it most of my life but I've always thought that it was something that everyone had to deal with. I've only recently in the last few years realised what a problem it has become in my life. I avoid situations and therefore, miss opportunities and in this life you can't afford to miss opportunities. As a result of this 'avoidance' I am not where I want to be in life. I planned to be a music producer or sound designer for film and computer games, having studied this at University. Instead I work in a call centre, repeatedly dialling numbers waiting for something to happen. Getting told to piss off every other call. This has led me to be overall quite depressed about life, leaving me wondering what the point of all this is! My drive has gone along with my creativity and I seem to be in this stagnant daze everyday, accomplishing nothing.
SO.... My doctor has prescribed me some Citalopram (20mg). I've heard a lot about this little oval shaped menace and have been quite anxious to what its effects might be. When you research things like this on the internet you usually get both ends of the spectrum in terms of reviews. No one comes on-line and posts about a mediocre experience they once had because lets be honest..... that would be ****ing boring!
I'm going to give the most reliable account of the drugs' effects as I can. I'll update the thread whenever anything changes. I'm swallowing down the first pill as I type....
Wish me luck
