Anxiety

[elliemac]

Can anyone who suffers with anxiety tell me what symptoms they get?

Have had trouble with anxiety for a few months now where its really making me miserable. Have been put on citalopram to help but am still feeling a bit dodgy. I feel lightheaded/fuzzy all the time. Even before the ADs. I'm convinced there's something wrong but have had a load of tests done and they're all clear. The reason i ask is that whenever you mention the lightheadedness everyone seems to only have it at the time of an attach whereas i have it most of the time.

I had anxiety attacks after the birth of ds. For me, it was more worrying about something and then taking it to it's worse conclusion-physically, I would have adrenalin rushes and butterflies in the stomach but I felt the mental torture of these uncontrollabe thoughts were the most distressing. I think it was probably part of PND.
I am happy and healthy now, got through it myself, without drugs but with the wonderful support of dp.

I feel that rushing thing. Feels a bit like a hot flush without the sweating.

Thanks will try the breathing!
