Hi all, merry christmas and a happy new year to everyone. I thought I'd rejoin the NMP gang to let you know what's been going off with my battle against anxiety.
Basically, I have now held a job for 6 months, I've got that sports car I always wanted and I'm starting to get somewhere in life. Granted, I hate my job and my sports car is knackered, and if I had my tarot read they would draw the Tower card five times in a row, but that's no reason to sulk.
I've decided that I am gonna reduce my dose of citalopram with a view to coming off the stuff altogether. This is day 2 on 20mg (down from 30mg). Last night I had a horrific dream so my body is obviously aware of the change. Other than that everything's ok.
I am sick of always being tired. I sometimes have early starts at work and trying to drag myself out of bed earlier than 11am is a serious chore. Apart from that I'm receiving cut-price therapy courtesy of Anxiety UK, and everything else in life seems to be ok at the moment.
I'm having a course of regression hypnotherapy starting soon which will help me go through my life from beginning to present in order to smooth over some bad memories and build some self esteem.
I'm hoping this will give me some stronger foundations in order to get through life without medication.
Well anyway I will let people know how it goes and I'll no doubt be adding this to my Citalopram Guide some time soon!
Take care!
