Anxiety support, Hand hold or chit chat come say hi #3

[Fairydust26]

Can you believe the last threads full up?! We had a great support network going on the previous two so come and say a big hello and join us.

I've found this on YouTube , hopefully will make today somewhat better. If you have 20 mins have a listen.

Hi. Can I come on board?

I'm new to this thread as well , welcome on board. Hopefully this thread is of some help.

Started citalopram on Saturday. I am struggling so hope this will give me the lift I need.

Hope everyone is ok

Hello everyone, mind if I join? This last few months my anxiety has been increasing. I seem to go from worrying about one thing straight on to another. My dh just doesn't get it and tells me not to be so silly and these things will never happen which obviously doesn't help at all.
I can't stop thinking these thoughts that something bad is going to happen. I have no idea what has kicked it off but I've noticed an increase around my period. Does this happen to anyone else?
I'm so sick of feeling on edge all the time and feel bad that even though I'm trying to act normal around everyone I'm distracted inside by worrying so can't enjoy things like I used to.

Can I join in I am feeling very low and anxious and could do with some support. We have recently moved house and I still don't feel settled . I also have health anxiety and very real toothache when I eat. I am petrified of dentists but I know I have to go. Can't help but think that my mouth is in such a bad state that I will need dentures before I am forty. I need about 7 fillings and a tooth removed already

Name change for me, day 4 of fluoxetine and I’m struggling. I feel dreadful, shaking, sickly jumpy. Can anyone tell me if it’s normal?

Hi 🤗, i only ever go on AIBU on mumsnet but wondered if anyone can tell me the best place on mumsnet to find other like-minded people who suffer from health anxiety like me?

*is it here?

Hi all handholds for you all

I’ve had a horrible anxious knot in my stomach these past few days and no appetite what so ever, the annoying thing is there isn’t anything in particular that’s causing it but obviously subconsciously something must be making me anxious!.

Aroundnabout1 your more than welcome to post on here😊. I too can add health anxiety to my list of problems lol

I think the solidarity on here is so lovely. We are all struggling in our own way but all here listening and caring. We can celebrate the good days and moan about the bad

Hi, can I join in please? I'm on day 8 of fluoxetine for severe anxiety and depression after an absolutely horrendous year. I was originally given Sertraline but after four days had a massive allergic reaction. Was then given Mirtazapine which completely knocked me out but fluoxetine so far seems to be ok although not a major lift in mood yet. Thanks.

Have a great day everyone. Just remember that even in the darkest moments there is positivity to be found

Why am I in tears because I have to go to ASDA? It’s ASDA for gods sake. I’m sat here sobbing and shaking.

Imreallytrying you can do it! Have you written yourself a list? You can take it one item at a time start with the necessity’s first then if it gets to much just pay and leave.

I did it. It was so hard, I was clinging to the trolly deep breathing. Must have looked a total prat. I was so envious of the other shoppers looking all relaxed (that was me once).

Well done for making it through the shopping trip. There is no rhyme and reason to anxiety and even when doing the most basic things we feel awful. Just getting through the day one step at a time is good. I too will be a tearful wreck later I have a dentist appointment and I am terrified

Sorry after asking to join, I then went really quiet 🙈

I'm accessing counselling at work but I've always struggled with self esteem issues and don't seem to acknowledge the person I am and what I've achieved.

I hope you are all ok & would like to offer some to anyone who is currently suffering.

P.s. how do you change your username (dont lihe having the name 'user' lol

Not having a great time, day 7 fluoxetine and I’m still so bloody dizzy. I’ve convinced myself I’ve got heart problems and I’m going to drop down dead and my kids with be orphans 😢. I know that’s not rational

Also does anyone hold their breath all the time when the anxiety is bad????

Hello can I join? Been struggling with anxiety and depression for years and finally walked into GP on Monday and got help I needed, Day 5 of Fluoxetine and apart from feeling shaky and sleepy all the time I have been okay. I am signed off work this week so have basically been sleeping through the day.

I feel quite fragile and smallest things seem to set me off - would definitely appreciate some support.

Hi @iamreallytrying you are two days ahead of me l

If I could just stop the fear that my heart is going to stop I’d be so much better. I hate my brain for doing this to me
