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

I just took my 6th tablet and put it in my mouth but when i swallowed it didnt actually go down & it all kind of dissolved into a mush in my mouth Envy tasted RANCID
I'm going to try and get a shop done today and go visit my granny and grandad for a bit. The weather here just turned horrible pouring with rain and really gloomy :( not doing much to help my spirits lol.
Thats what im worried about too Natty that i'll feel better but i'll just happen to be seeing the doctor on a good day etc rather than the tablets working! I wish i was further down the road so I could tell if these were going to work for me, i'm not even a week in yet :(

I antibacterial the life out of everything. I just worry that I've put dirty clothes in the machine so I've touched the handle and the buttons then I don't see them as clean but no amount of cleaning the outside of it will be sufficient enough to get rid of the germs. There's a few things in my house people are better off just not touching then I know I won't have to scrub the life out of my home. I could have shares in bloody anti bacterial products. My water bill was high so paying big time on direct debit each month.

Stargirl82 · 24/06/2016 14:26

My tablets are in capsules and I have to take 5 of them, think I drink about a gallon of water just to get them down!

mummynatty · 24/06/2016 14:46

Yeah bets nobody touchs as make you feel worse :/ you have to do it cause I think someone else won't do it properly :/ aw not good :/

Big time ocd! You are right no one else's cleaning is good enough, so I do bloody everything. I take 5 as they only come in 50mg and I'm on 250mg.
