Anxiety

[user1492874524]

Hi all.
I've been on citalapram 40mg since having my son 5 years ago, but this last week I've been really struggling with My anxiety 😫, I can't eat, sleep I'm constantly on edge, sweating and shaking. I feel disconnected from the world like I'm just watching not really there. My doctor has prescribed me 5 days worth of diazapam to help calm me down. I've had cbt but when I'm this bad I can't put it into use. But I'm scared to take the diazapam incase it doesn't work and then I'm stuck. I've took some time of work, my sons nanas are helping me with him, but I feel so guilty I'm a mum and should be able to do it on my own..
Sorry for the rant just feeling very along right now

Says who? Take all the help you're given and try one of the tablets and see how you feel.

But I'm scared to take the diazapam incase it doesn't work

I understand your worry, but it is definitely not going to work if you dont take it.

I have taken diazapam for anxiety and found it really helpful.

I also 100% agree with @JaneJeffer. Take all the help you can and don't feel guilty. Nobody should feel they have to cope alone.

I feel just the same it's so scary but diazepam does take the edge of while other meds kick in xx
