Hello,
Had a devastating loss nearly four years ago. Got on with things pretty soon after. Was numb I think. Lots of other awful things happened at the same time that took up a lot of my brain space. But was kind of ok. Or so I thought.
Anyway, in the last six months I am in bits with anxiety and all the rest of it. It's coming to the surface again. Shit.
Went to GP yesterday in despair, and he recommended counselling. OK so far, then said I should consider Escitalopram for the anxiety. Gave me a script and I filled it, but I am full of anxiety and will not take them. I know, but that's me.
I am not taking any other meds at all for anything else. He also gave me a weeks supply of 3mg Lexotan to take if I get panicky. They are god's gift, but I have to be careful not to become dependent on them.
Jesus will this anxiety ever go away. It is awful.
I really am banking on the counselling.
Has anyone else suffered complex unresolved grief and how are you now if you did.
Thanks so much.
