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'm on the Suffolk/Cambridgeshire boarder. I don't know how long it took really it's not something I was watching for but by my 6 week review my partner had definitely noticed a difference to how I was reacting to situations that I'd normally get angry with weren't bothering me. My doctor said that it would take at least 3 weeks to notice any kind of difference.
I have a friend who has depression and ocd and she just done a mindfulness course and she said it's really helped her.

Strange..

Clottedcreamqueen · 20/06/2016 20:28

Anxiety, pleased to hear you're feeling a little better. I'm also the other way round. My mood always seems to dip in the evening and I start to feel a bit sad. I've had quite a good day today (other than an anxious start) yet still my mood has slumped this evening.
I'm based in South Yorkshire.

How are you anexity ?

Clottedcreamqueen · 21/06/2016 13:01

Sorry your having a tough time. It really is shit. I can honesty say, that you won't always feel like this. Not long ago, I was 100% sure I didn't want to live anymore, now I'm doubting that. Although I'm not 100% sure I want to live, I don't feel desperate to end things. Can you go and speak to your GP or is there someone IRL you can speak to?

AnxietySertraline · 21/06/2016 13:17

Holding on for my kids

AnxietySertraline · 21/06/2016 13:19

I do have a boyfriend I live with and my mother - and have told them that life is hard for me... But really feel like I am letting them down - not getting better yet...

AnxietySertraline · 21/06/2016 13:21
