Hello Everyone,
So for the last three months I have completely lost who I am. I don't like going out or leaving the house. I just like sitting on the sofa under a blanket. Even getting up to the toilet makes me worry. I force myself out of the house to my families, shop, out for dinner- but I don't enjoy it at all and am just counting the minutes until I am back home on the sofa. I am not working at the moment and have been signed off- as I am really struggling driving on my own.
I am convinced there is something wrong with me and am convinced I am not well and not able to complete simple tasks.
- I feel dizzy/lightheaded/ weak throughout the day.
- constant left eye twitching
- sensitivity to light, see stars and glare of lights. Struggle looking at certain patterns.
- chest pains and real discomfort in the middle.
- feel like I can't always breathe properly
- constant phlegm in throat and having to constantly swallow, clear throat, gagging daily on what's in my throat, horrible taste in mouth all the time, teeth are painful too.
- constant throat and stomach gurgling.
- just convinced I am going to pass out, have a seizure etc. Been feeling this for three months and nothing has happened yet I still fee this way.
I've had X-rays of chest and throat, blood tests, reflex test and strength test and got a barium swallow next week.
Is thia really all anxiety???? I just want to be back to normal. Have tried a few different meds but nothing seems to work as I get so stressed out at the thought of taking a new tablet.
Losing the will!!!

Sertraline worked well for me once it had kicked in. If you're nervous of trying it, please don't be.
meds are not a cure-all but they do help in conjunction with therapy.
Be careful with the diazepam as they are addictive.
