I didnt know there was a name and whole host of information on this subject and feel even more grateful for this site! You learn something new every day.
Things are much better for me now, I have been on citalopram for 3 months, have returned to work and am feeling much better. I took an online CBT course and have some mp3's which i listen to to reassure me. You have to work at it everyday but it certainly helped me to know I wasnt alone and it will go away. Good luck everyone x Sue x
