Help, I can feel myself getting massively anxious again. I’m so stressed about the future - enormous bills, not enough pension saved, teenage kids, one that’s struggling. Dp that’s finding life hard, mum in expensive home abroad so I can’t even see her, half term looming, moving off tamoxifen onto letrazole means a bone scan that’s bringing all that fear back. - I’m so tired of being this anxious and am now drinking too much. I just can’t seem to ever get on top of stuff and the insecurity is overwhelming. Both of us nearly died from illness in the last six years and I think that may have something to do with it?all this stuff about breathing doesn’t touch the sides. I can’t cope. Samaritans is temporarily helpful but not really, doctors phone service suggested sertraline or citalopram. Don’t really want to do either as I was on citalopram before and tried to come off it by myself, not a good idea.
Should I try sertraline? How can I deal with this?
What can I do?

Hi,
Have you tried referring yourself to Health in mind, I did this and I was skeptical but it was surprisingly helpful. I can't comment on antidepressants as I have never taken them, hope this helps if you ever want a chat give me a message.
