I'm taking citalopram at the moment for depression but also suffer anxiety. I am generally an anxious person and worry about everything, even when I'm not depressed.
I don't really suffer physical symptoms of anxiety except in very rare cases - for me the symptoms are mental, but I'd love to know how I can control them better. My typical response to panic/anxiety is to burst into tears, feel overwhelmed and hopeless, lose my temper and have an uncontrollable urge to shout, kick, slam doors, throw objects...basically extreme bursts of rage. I'm putting the fight in fight or flight! I've had this all my life. Afterwards I always feel embarrased but I can't seem to stop this reaction.
How can I stop this happening because I'm so tired of it. It's highly embarrasing and does not help me in any way.
