Anxiety

[TheClientList]

My anxiety is off the roof had someone knock on my door I looked through the peep hole and I didn't know who it was been feeling really on edge and sick! Got my lights turned off and my curtains shut so they don't know I'm there making me feel so horrible making me cry I hate anxiety shaking so badly!

Its shit isnt it.

They will have gone now. Also there is no law saying you have to answer your door.

Are you getting help for your anxiety?

Sorry you feel this way just remember there are loads of reasons strangers knock on the door , probably somebody selling something or a neighbour asking for a favour etc x

It's horrible I'm in absolute tears I hate that I do it! And awaiting help had an assessment recently awaiting for some help also awaiting for CBT like therapy because when I get anxiety I pick my face or pull my hair out! I'm just so scared and stressed out. I'll be good some days and then worse on others and today is a bad day 😢

Have you considered medication? If you can bear to drink it you could try cammomile tea it tastes like sick but it really works for me.

I'm on citalopram but doesn't seem to work for my anxiety very well 😕

I've had chamomile tea before I see what you mean haha! I'll shall get some and try that!

Yeah it's absolutely shit.

I would suggest that whilst you are waiting for your therapy you get some medication, there is no shame and it will really help you. A couple of years ago I couldn't even turn my phone on for fear of someone ringing me unexpectedly, medication has helped so much.

Ahhh sorry just seen your latest post. What dosage are you on and how long have you been on it?

Tell them you want escitalopram instead. I was on citalopram and it works much better. Its more expensive so they usually go for citaopram

I'm on 20mg and been on it for almost a year and I feel like that switching my phone off I do sometimes just to avoid the outside the only thing I feel much calmer temporarily! And ok I'll ask for that instead! Thank you
