      Your right....I will never beat it, and I try so hard to just shake it off and say it's just my anxiety, but there's always that little bit of brain niggling at me with thoughts like - what if it's something bad- this time it might not be anxiety- doctors may of missed something.

      I guess some days I can get through it, other days it just all gets on top of me and I can't see a way of dealing with it! I have great family and friends that do understand to an extent! But they will never fully understand! Do you suffer from anxiety Martin? If so what meda have you tried? I was on catalapram 60mg then they changed me to 200mg sertatline now they trying to change me to matizapine! (Which scares me senseless) they o my thing that calms me down is diazapam and they won't give me it any more! Xx
