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

You May ask all you want...
I had very increased anxiety and Got no sleep at all last night... With many many thoughts in my head... Including wanting to leave (taking the "easy" Way out).... Started shaking really bad and did not feel different from before I started Sertraline (in comparison)... Bad then bad now... Plus I have had a lot of diarreah amd nausea and no apetite still (not gaining weight back)... I thought it is either upping my dose (with more nausea, diarreah, insomoia, weight loss) or getting help now (bc wanting to leave really badly but have to stay bc of children, boyfriend and so on)...

AnxietySertraline · 29/06/2016 17:40

I was really afraid to be alone bc of wanting to leave... Just couldnt continue....

AnxietySertraline · 29/06/2016 17:43

They are observing me and keeping me safe... Their observations can lead to either sending me home tomorrow og keeping me... They want to find out if I have other diagnoses than anxiety... And then tomorrow a psych docter will make a plan for medication and decide if I should stay or go home...

AnxietySertraline · 29/06/2016 17:44

I am suppose to have blodtests ang EKG and they have checked my pulse,BP and so on.

AnxietySertraline · 29/06/2016 17:45

Anxiety sorry to hear you haven't been well but most probably the right thing to do by calling and getting observed.

Sorry haven't been on last few days. My ds kept telling me to put my phone down and I felt just awful so decided only to come on when both Chn are asleep

How's everyone else doing?
