Hello everyone, I am a new user and just wanted to introduce myself and tell you all a bit about myself. I'm Rhiannon, I'm 27, from just outside Cardiff, I have been suffering with anxiety for many years, and have recently sought medical help to deal with this problem. I have experienced constant worrying about all sorts of irrational things for as long as I can remember, and I sometimes suffer from panic attacks and also from what I think of as "freezing" attacks which seem to be some sort of extreme selective mutism in response to an overload of worrying. Sounds like I'm great fun eh?! The reason I've come to this site is that I'm hoping to be able to discuss my experiences with other people who understand how I'm feeling; although I get a lot of support from family and from my lovely partner, I sometimes feel like they are struggling to really "get it", if you know what I mean. I am just about to start a course of Citalopram, and I've already read some other people's experiences elswhere in the forum, which I found helpful, so thanks to everyone for that.
