Hi all, like most of you when i was first hit with anxiety it knocked me of my feet, it was a few years after losing my mum i went into auto pilot and out of the blue felt crap, no patients, fed up and anxiety, went doctors they explained i was grieving and was gave some tablets which after a few weeks i picked up and felt myself, 6 years later after doing what alot of us do, over worked, busy parent, and just not taking time to relax after what ever the days was throwng at us, i had a something happen that made me feel pants again and after a week i thought i will go doctors and explain, i had hot flushes, confusion, anxiety and sudden rushes of irritation, the doctor didnt really want to give me ought but after i went back down i was giving 10mg citalopram,

First week after taking them i was still having flushes and irritation but found groups like these very helpful and knew it would be 4/6 weeks before i got some improvement so after banging head, ear ache, dizzy and just feeling pants i continued,

week two i have noticed things seem to not be half as bad but its still there and in a way u get scared to feel normal as i felt i was being cocky and didn't want to push it,

im on week three now and do feel the things are improving and move relaxed,

like us all im only at the beginning and know it will be a while before i can be at ease but just wanted to speak out and say we all feel crazy, low and gag to have a normal life but i do believe that it makes us understand how we work and what we need to do to stop and realise we are not alone in this bad chapter in our lifes, we may all be different but all need to stop and think your you and we are all amazing and still with whatever the doctor or you believe will work give it chance like a broken bone it needs to mend ,

stick with it your not crazy 😊
