[Cjc_woodworx]

Hi all hope your doing better than I am. Feel really down today with my GAD and HA. Woke up feeling hopeless have a nervous feeling down to my stomach no get up and go literally just sat in the side of my bed just about to give up on life. Sick of feeling the worse about my health because all I here about is the C word and also feeling like I am useless already cried this morning always fearing the worse and I don't want to be like this anymore I want to get back how I used to be and it's bloody hard. The more I try the harder it is no idea what to do anymore :(.

Sorry for the long essay

Feel your pain . I've had a really down day today aswell been crying alot it all feels like too much to bear sometimes. Are you on any meds?

[Cjc_woodworx in reply to Lauriem4]

I am getting beyond why bother. I been prescribed diazapam and setraline but haven't taken them because of the nature of my job

[Lauriem4 in reply to Cjc_woodworx]

Yes I've been prescribed setraline but not taken it

[Cjc_woodworx in reply to Lauriem4]

I don't think it's a great idea having diazapam while using knifes in a kitchen

[Lauriem4 in reply to Cjc_woodworx]

No it's not . Have you ever tried the setraline ?

[Cjc_woodworx in reply to Lauriem4]

Yeah doesn't seem to do anything

Sertraline takes probably about 2 weeks to get into your system. How long c did yiu take it for? I was on it but couldn't handle it. Ask your Dr or Psychiatrist about trying a SNRI instead of SSRI - it really helped me to switch to an SNRI called Duloxetine. Stay strong please.

I know exactly how you feel, ☹️ Been having bad anxiety since February and it wears me out with all the physical symptoms you can get with it. I had it 7 years ago and didn’t know what the hell waa happening to me, eventually I came through it but it started up again this year, first I had a fall and then a urine infection, then other little things happened and it started up again. It’s horrible not being yourself, like you, I want to be how I was too, trying to stay strong, but it wears you out so much. I’ve been crying on and off as well, can’t seem to do the things I used to, I walk up the road to the shops and that’s about it sometimes I have trouble with that. It can make you feel very lonely can’t it 😔 xx
