I've suffered with OCD and depression over the years and slight fears here and there. Always been on anti depressants. Came off them to start a family a few months later I developed anxiety, which I've never had before. Tried to go back on meds nothing worked or side effects to horrific. I've been dosed up with benzo's for last few months initially they helped me stabilise now they don't work. I wake up with crippling fear for no reason and it stays all day. CBT therapist said he can't help if I can't find thoughts that trigger the anxiety but I can't there are none. I'm on the verge of tears all the time, heart pounding, can't eat, nauseous, lost two stone and can't get a handle on my emotions at all. I have tried, meditation, mindfulness, grounding techniques, reading various books. My thoughts to harm myself are getting more and more acute. The mental health team are of no help. I'm so lost I don't know what to do

l like your positive attitude. Is it safe to say you no longer suffer from anxiety or depression. Are you still on meds? I am trying to take control rather than these meds control me. Any helpful suggestions.

Hi Lynda
Not on meds, had prescritpion from doctor but not processing it. I have anxiety and indeed today I kept crying at work - I work for the NHS as a medical secretary and work with a great group of people. I am the oldest one there and all the young ones look after me. I even argued with a doctor today and told her not to talk and point at me the way she was....we were both crying int he end. I can laugh now. I had my first counsellor today. This may be a long one but essentially as I lost my husband and then my daughter left home. My brain in the subconscious has thrown up the feeling of when I lost my husband and I set if off in some way. Just by a wrong thought. The week prior to starting anxiety I had a lovely holiday abroad and all was fine and then overnight wham. So I am not long along this path. I am positive and those around me are positive and I know sometime i n he future this anxiety will pass. I just have to get used to a new set of rules...being alone and dealing with it. Positives do what I want and when I want, dont have to argue for the remote control, can sit on my arse all day if I like.... you get where I am going...all positives. Problem solved....I wish. Joking aside I truly believe positive thinking Take care and take control xx
