First off, thank you all for listening. I am struggling right now. This last 6 to 7 months of been my first bout with anxiety and I have just now started get treated for it. I am only 4 days to 20 mg after one month on 10 mg. I know it's too early for to work but I just don't have no hope right now. I feel like I've lost myself and I've lost my personality because every waking moment is spent with about how weird I feel and how panicky I am. I know I need to trust in the process and give things time but that's one out right now. Have you been there and done better? I'm just trying to get through the day and push on to the next.

    Hi Dan I'm laughing g as do many of us have felt or feel the way you describe and because you're anxious you concentrate on how you're feeling all the time but it will ease mine has eased but I have the odd blip but feel stronger now. I started doing 500 piece jigsaws when I could co concentrate and I really enjoy it I also go hit brisk walks when I feel a bit crap and it helps a lot just keep busy and plod on and soon you wil feel good

      Thank you Debbie. I sure hope so. I feel like I'm crawling out of my skin all day long. I don't remember what calm Feels like or quiet mind and this is all quite frightening. I have no choice but to push through but it sure as hell right now

      Yes I was the same and had funny sensation in my head slightly and hot flushes but I'm 2 months down the line and I'm so much better and calmer and my head is peaceful most times. I can just say keep as busy as you can
