Does anyone else suffer with this "odd" feeling. Constant fear that somethings going to happen? I have constant butterflies, cry all the time, i cant concentrate i feel really odd and its been happening since last tuesday. I was on propranalol and fluoxetine but my doc told me to come off the fluoxetine as i could be having side effects (i have been on them for about 3 years)

I am constantly thinking maybe i have some illness even thou i have seen many doctors who have all told me its anxiety. Why have i suddenly gone like this? I feel so alone. I feel nervous and dizzy. Not hungry anymore and just cant relax. I have been pescribed another anti depressant and tonight i will start taking them.

I was at work but its the place that fired me so I think it's making me more depressed! Plus it's boring so ive got more time to dwell. Just felt rubbish today about asking my ex boss and wondering what he must have thought of me but I'm gonna have to get over it. Went for a drink and food tonight with DP and his sister and brother which was good. Hassled the doctors again do counselling. May have to go private. Can feel smudge bouncing around in there and she/he needs me.

Morning ladies,

I'm sitting at my desk in work. Still feeling really low. I just feel like rocking up to my local mental health hospital n asking if they have a bed. I'm on a half day today the off tomorrow so it's not too bad. I'm just exhausted. Sad

I'm going to go to my mums after work today n speak to her about it, I can't go on like this. I need to feel better for my own sake and the sake of my gorgeous little boys.

Also Charlee,

I also question my sanity a lot of the time, but my GP told me the fact that I have insight tells them that I'm not loosing my mind. If I was loosing my mind chances are I probably wouldn't b worry about it IYKWIM?? Smile x x

Hello, I hope it's ok to post here. I also suffer from anxiety and today am feeling too panicky to get out of bed.

I work part time (not on Tuesdays fortunately) and some things happened yesterday at work yesterday which have had a real effect on me. I won't go into the details, as it's just office politics and not really a big deal. Well, I know objectively that it's not a big deal but I can't stop thinking and worrying about it, anyway. I think what's aggravating it is that I used to have a good friend at work who I could share this sort of thing with, but she died suddenly last month. I miss her a lot. I can share some stuff with DH but after a while he starts getting a bit bored/impatient with it. He's great in a real emergency and was lovely when my friend died but just doesn't get why I worry so much about the little stuff!

Not looking for any answers- just thought this might be a safe place to spend time as I'm feeling too anxious to go or do anything else!
