I feel like I am dying today some days I have good days and I can put it to back of my head but I’ve had hip and leg pain recently and base of head; neck eye and shoulder ache that does come and go but when I focus it comes on strong and I start thinking the worse and today I’ve felt off it in myself so now I’m convinced I am going to died and leave my children behindS

Doctors haven’t give me meds tell me to try and deal with it with talking to someone etc as it takes a while to kick in and I will get worse before I get better so keep brushing me off. I’m trying to ignore symptoms I have but I still get so anxious and panic

I started sertraline 3 weeks ago for the same thing now I do feel absolutely rottne at the moment but I was on them about 2 years ago so I know they do definitely help. Its just the first few weeks are really hard. They definitely make me feel worse at the start but I need something as I can't carry on living my life in a constant state of worry. X

Yes am exactly the same. Started when I had my first baby almost 8 years ago but isn't always so bad . At the moment its really bad I worry so much about something happening to me or to my kids . Every little thing with my kids my mind goes into overdrive . It's draining me so much x
