Been 6 months now Anxiety and Depression

Posted , 4 users are following.

So i've basically been through a lot in the last 6 months. Me and my GF moved home about 8 months ago..and after a couple of months i thought i had every symptom under the sun. Pains around heart, lots of deep gas, insomnia etc...extreme anxiety. I was off work for a month.

I changed my diet have been working through it and have been for sessions with councillors and cbt and although i feel better in some aspects I still don't feel well. The mornings are very tough for me. evenings less so. Also after i eat a meal i seem to relax more.

Very recently have been getting a lot of tension in my head. Yesturday my thoughts also went very down and very intense. It kind of started with things like 'what's the point of anything.' ect i know.. very dramatic....Not like me at all i can assure you.

I have looked at all aspects of my personal life and altho things could be better in some areas...it doesn't make sense that it would cause THIS extremity of feeling.

I woke up early this morning feeling anxious. Something that i haven't had as much very recently as i thought i had learnt ways to deal with it. I was reading about mercury and how if in the system it can cause a lot of the symptoms. I have about 3 fillings that are the mercury based ones. i have been known to grind my teeth in my sleep over the years. Also in the past a hot coffee each morning.

I say those things as i wonder if this has grinded down a filling and has seeped mercury into my system. I feel like i'm clutching at straws but i'm quite desperate now.

Any advice? I've also read about b12 deficiencies...but honestly i feel stuck.

    Okay so it's been 6 days on citalopram. I've just been woken up after an hours sleep to what i guess was a panic attack. This felt directly on my brain though. So scary. I didn't know what was happening. I'd had a bath before bed and had taken some multiminerals and turmeric earlier about an hour before taking the cit at 9pm.

    Went to bed at 11pm Woke up about 12am in a bit of a sweat wondered why...then BAM. A panic attack.. but ones i've had before usually came around the chest and from the body. This was directly in the brain. Anyone had this happen?
