Have been diagnosed with generalised anxiety plus paranoid delusions/hallucinations and wondering if anyone else is in a similar position.
Not really any support groups round here for similar (only social anxiety groups)and it would be nice just to chat about it.
Am on drugs that help control it but still have bad episodes and still have to try and control the paranoia and panic. It can get very scary sometimes - had very bad episode last night that drove dh to tears
I'm also 31 weeks pregnant just to make things more complicated (dc2). I'm under GP care after being assessed by 2 psychiatric teams. Not working as now using up holiday until I go on maternity but was on sick leave before that. Work been very good.
Luckily dh is unemployed (never thought I;d hear myself say that was lucky) and so around 24/7 to look after me and ds. Have supportive ILs and friends (no contact with own family).
On the upside the fluoextine (sp?) that I take for the anxiety protects me against depression as well so at least I'm not depressed on top of everything else.
Anyone in the same boat?
