I struggle with anexity and they also say OCD and depression all come together I have two kids and I have tried counciling through nhs and didn't get on with it also had some counciling through my local children centre and had three session then she left but luckily found another councilor :) and meet up with her every week it helps talking and ranting to someone that doesn't know you was doing quite well until last weekend just everything getting on top of me so decided to go see doctor yesterday and they put me on anti depressants the sertraline meant to help with anxiety as well just worried about all side affects now :/ but I can't carry on feeling the way I do :/
Since my aniexity popped up again I have split up with my partner of three half years he got me through a lot of hard times and helped me out of a horrid relationship before and help me through everything to do with that , I feel bit lost don't know how to be myself anymore cause I've always had him to help me through hard places in the last few years and we've always got through together feel like I'm on my own through this don't get me wrong I have few friends that try there hardest to understand what I'm going through how I feel just not the same :/
Just want to here how people get through it or found anything that has helped

Hi all. I haven't been posting much on this thread but have been dipping in and out and thinking of you all. I seem to be doing better now, but can't tell if it's the meds or not. Going to stick with them anyway. Day 14.

Thanks lilac lily I'm gonna take it up when they offer it I think, hopefully will be soon and someone new!

Mummynatty you sound like me with the washing, I dread my water and gas bill cuz I know it's my fault it's so high. I have to do exact routines in order to feel
Comfortable with washing things although I can't stand the washing machine it totally grosses me out and I won't let people near it.

AnxietySertraline · 24/06/2016 10:25

Star have your medicin helped you? With your rutines...

LilacLilyPad · 24/06/2016 10:26

I slept alright although woke up early feeling nervous, which wasnt helped when I saw the result of the referendum
Sitting in my garden now reading through all the facebook posts about it & about to have something to eat, although stomach is churning from nervousness

AnxietySertraline · 24/06/2016 10:41

AnxietySertraline · 24/06/2016 10:42

LilacLilyPad · 24/06/2016 10:43

Have any of you talked to your gp about how long you should stay at 50 mg before you migth have to up the dose? If it does not take the anxiety away?

LilacLilyPad · 24/06/2016 11:09

It will take me awhile to even get to 50mg so will need to see how I'm feeling by then before we discuss that :) for some people 50mg seems to work fine but my psychiatrist said she had most of hers on 100-150 to be effective... will just need to wait and see I suppose

mummynatty · 24/06/2016 11:09

I don't worry about my bills as much stargirl82 i worry about my sons uniform is not totally clean when comes out washing machine and will wash time after time :/ worry about it not being clean more then water bill as feel his safe and wellbeing is more important then my water and I know that washing machine washed clothes and my water bill is very high got a debt with water :/ but my own fault :/ cause my mum often says think about your bills but I don't I think about the kids being safe :/ guess it's good for kids but not so for my money and bills :/ why does it gross you out?

LilacLilyPad · 24/06/2016 11:10

Natty i'm feeling tired too although I think its cos I havent been doing much the past few days. Ironically the more I laze around and do nothing the more tired it seems to make me

mummynatty · 24/06/2016 11:11

Going to give to my mum this week :) hopefully that won't stress me out so much I'm so looking forward to the summer holidays less stress :) and my anexity is better when both kids are with me as if something happens I with them
