It is ok - I removed the extra posts you did for you.

Try reading around the website and forum to see if you can find anything that helps and you can relate to.

There are loads of posts about citalopram under the medication forum.

Worst time is the night I just lay awake and watch the telly.

Quite a usual symptom of anxiety. Apparently the body produces most of its stress hormone, Cortisol, in the early hours of the morning, which is why many people with depression and anxiety find themselves awake between 02:00 and 05:00. :-(

Have you tried any therapies?

I did have counselling years ago, but I find it just brings matter that are best hidden out of the woddwork again. I've just lost my mum, and that is what has brought this on again, my other half is not available at the moment and the phone call are spasmodic so not much help
