    Yes. It does get better. I couldn't even swallow my food, it got so bad. Also felt like someone was sitting on my chest. I started taking citaloprom. And it started to go away after 4or5 weeks. Brutal. Hope if gets better for ya. You taking meds?

    You say it's anxiety that causes your tension...do you know this for sure. What meds are you on? How long have you been on them? If you are on meds and these are making the situation worse then return to your GP and there is no guarantee that a particular medication is going to suit everyone.

    Have you been offered counselling?

    I know when I was diagnosed with depression, there was underlying anxiety issues. The anxiety then began to overtake my life.

    I was paranoid about going out in case people said things about me.

    I then went for counselling, luckily I was admitted to the priory for three months and it probably saved my life.

    Push for counselling - it helps.

    Hi brod sorry to hear all the **** you going through.its not nice as we all know. Sometimes meds don't agree with us .I was on sert for 9 weeks and they made my life hell.I went cold turkey and that was easy than taking sert. I went in CIT and they have been great .OK I have had adverse reaction as we all do.I also went to private hypnosis and that was brilliant .I paid £60 per hour for 6 session's. Best thing I have ever done.it worked that well it ..,I went back and he nearly cured my stammer. I still stammer as and when and I never get anxious. There is different ways to overcome .its like tending a garden if you look after it .you will have a lovely garden with notice flowers if you Dont you will only have weeds .just like your mind. Look after it and think nice thoughts its hard but you will get there. I have a mp3 file of a track called a click track its a hypnosis track which will help anyone lesson there an anxiety if you want it message me and I'll send it to you.it works with any anxiaty . no tricks
