Had a really good day yesterday no nausea and felt I had reached a turning point.  Today I feel back to square one is anybody else feeling like this.  Had to resort to 2.5 mg diazapam this morning and the nausea is back big time.  Trying to keep the diazapam to emergencies as the gp only gave me 14 and won’t prescribe any more.

      I'm obsessed with my heart beating this is how my anxiety started. I get a lot of skipped heart beats and that's when I use to just focus on my heart, I've been taking propranolol which stops my skip heart beats and racing heart.

      I don’t take anything as I believe it is a side effect of sertraline. Tu i am fièvre checking my heart beat on my phone. Lol

      I have been on sertraline 19 days and have hardly left the bedroom suffering from agoraphobia too.  Just about managing to keep the household going but can’t be around food and cooking as I feel so sick and agitated.

      I’ve hardly left my bedroom either. Was better yesterday and I thought great, this is more like it. But not today. I am off work next week and I need to get better to go back teaching the week after. If the way I feel doesn’t change, there is no way i’ll Be able to cope. I feel so weak and shaky.

    Don’t let the heart beat scare you. It’s part of the anxiety and your going to be perfectly fine.  It happens to me almost everyday especially after some caffeine.  Trust me when I tell you your ok. It’s just anxiety and I bet it’s not even beating as fast or hard as you think it is.
