Hello from liam1412

Hi. Just found this site while browsing for some of my symptoms.

I suppose I best tell you a bit about my self.

I am 24 and have suffered with bouts of anxiety and stress in the passed. When I was 16 I was on the dreaded Seroxat (peroxitin) and after a few months stopped taking them and seemed to pick my self up. Last year I got symptoms again only 10 times worse and was prescribed Citalopram. Eveyrthing was going fine util my doc said I had to get counciling alongside the meds to find out the root cause. I really didn;t want this so I stopped taking my meds to avoid having to do this.

Now im back again with the symptoms and again this time they are worse.

The bouts don't come on from nothing. It is at stressfull times in my life. This time round it is because I am due to become a dad for the first time and I am noting but stressing how I am eveer going to afford it. I just wish I was better at dealing with stress and just got stressed instead of all this stupid panic and anxiety. Anyways. Enough of my babbling hope some of you can help me through this time.

Thanks for the replies. really I just want to to know that im not crazy and people are in the same boat as me. My missus doesn't really understand why I can't deal with stuff so easy and my mum just thinks im going nuts if I tell her stuff.

Sometimes I just feel like im a proper phsycho coz loads of other people have stressful times in there life without all this. I don;t think it helps that I smoked weed for a long long time but have hit that on the head now.

Hey Liam,

I take citalopram and various other cocktails occaissonally. I have been a father for half a year nad despite how bad I feel, I have never once felt anything but joy when I'm with baby.
MY woories were that I wouldn't be able to provide decent support but things work themselves out - after a while I was honest with friends etc, and they help so much. good luck
