I feel like I'm suffocating

[stunnedandangry1]

I have another thread in employment issues about the cause of this.

My head is scrambled this morning, I'm on citalopram for anxiety (and have been for 18 months) but this morning I feel like I'm suffocating with anxiety.

I'm worried sick about my DH and the change in his mental health that happened because of the incident.

We also have a family member in hospital just now and it's not looking good there either.

I just feel like everything is tumbling down just now.

I don't know what I'm expecting from posting tbh - I think I just need to let it out

I'm sorry you're going through this.

Have you thought about having your meds increased for an extra bit of help? Asked doctor about therapy?

Thank you, I'm actually due a repeat so I think asking for a temporary increase might be the right way to go.

I'm trying so hard to keep my head together so I can help DH and be there for our family member, it's a bit overwhelming just now.

I was on citalopram but doctor changed it to Mirtazapine and Propanol for depression and anxiety. I take the propanol usually as and when anxiety symptoms show but for the past week or so it’s been twice a day everyday because work is utterly shit. Definitely helps with dealing with anxiety. Perhaps speak to GP about it
