Am suffering quite bad anxiety. Have been on Ad's for a few weeks, and they are sort of working (or beginning to) but I don't think they have kicked in fully yet, as am having good and bad days.

Today is a bad day, can't eat, feel sick, breathless, tearful, really horrible anxiety.

Dp as just said about it "Let's not go from one crisis to another" AND "you're not thinking realistically, stop over exaggerating things"

I feel fucking shit, and now feel ten times worse. I know it is hard for him, but it is truly crap for me atm. Feel I can't say or show what I really feel, so have just stopped talking about it, but feel so crappy

i hear you im like that have been on mine 3 weeks today and im up and down like you dh finds it hard aswell
have you got anylavender a few drops on your pillow will help
im taking kalms sleeping tablets at the mo and they help.
im anxious tonight too for no reason my throat is tight and feels hard to breathe but i know it will pass just ask yourself whats the worst that an happen and then think thats really not going to happen.
ask gp for propranolol tablets they calm your heartbeat down and so makes the anxiety less they work for me.try starting a diary it helps to write things down if you cant tell dp

you have to look after yourself and not eating will make you feel worse i have to force myself to have 3 small meals a day ,i have lost a stone in a month .even if you cant eat you should drink water and take some kind of vitamin. if your breathing gets too bad find a paper bag and breathe into it.ive been to my gp loads recently trying to get some releif in my symptoms have been given diazepam aswell which relaxes you maybe you can ask the gp about these.
tell your dp what symptoms you are experiencing and themn maybe he will understand a bit more

Gp has been lovely, but wants full 6 weeks on these tablets to get full effect.

SS, I posted on your thread earlier saying I felt OK. Why does it get worse as day goes on?

Lavender is an idea, gp has given me sleeping tabs, so I'm getting kip. Anxiety is the pits

fizzbuzz have you tried going out for a long walk i do this everyday no matter how tired i feel it really helps me . my gp is referring me to the counseller they have at the surgery so thats good maybe you could ask for that espesially that you find it hard to talk to your partner.go to the library and hget some books on anxiety i did that and it helps to understand whats going on in your brain and body when you get like this
