Morning

Can I ask what you are being admitted for?

Don't worry about being admitted I bet the staff are lovely. I am a psychiatric nurse and I am recovering from a rare form if anxiety with ment I had seizure.

I now I don't have anxiety after medication and self help.

Can I help you with any questions? Remember that a lot more people suffer from this illness than you think.

HI Mia, Its sometimes best to not ask for heath advise from anyone other than someone like your own gp or health professional x

Hey!

I can't give you medical advice but Everyone reacts differently to medication just because a relative had a bad reaction doesn't mean you will.

Give them a try! And let me know. Stay safe.

Hey,

Anxiety is a hard one to deal with.... . Have you attempted to start your medication? It might Work so please try it. Id hate to be back suffering again. Please remember it will take time. But you will be ok.

For a panic and health anxiety disorder. It's strange as I know they don't normally admit for that but they said its so bad I need it

I've always had anxiety but the last 3 weeks it just went bananas every day. I've lost 12kg
