Hi Everyone smile I haven't been on here for a little while. For the past year, my depression, anxiety, panic attacks, ocd and ptsd have been absoultely crippiling me to the point where I thought I was not going to make it through the day and just wanted it all to be over with. One of the worse bouts of it I've ever had.

But now, I'm finally getting the help I need. I've come off my medication all together as I found it was making me feel much more worse, and I've been starting to feel a little more like myself again. I'm starting a stress management course next week, I'm having weekly councelling and also seeing a bereavement counsellor soon, I'm also not obsessing about my heart anymore either, which is a relief lol! For the first time in a long time, I'm starting to feel a lot more positive and making baby steps towards my recovery. 

I know that I'm going to have to work on myself everyday and I know that I will be hit with some bad days too. It's true what they say, there is light at the end of the tunnel, you just have to believe in yourself and be brave enough to take back some control and make a change and not let it beat you. 

Stay Strong Everyone. smile Xx

      Hi Helen, thank you. 😊

      My medication was making me feel worse and since coming off it I've been a lot better... And barely have palpitations anymore which has stopped me from thinking about it constantly and it started to take over my life, so I thought enoughs enough now. Like I said though, have to work at it everyday. Day at a time. 😊 xxx
