Iv been off work leave since september and I haven't completely recovered. I have severe panic attacks most of the time being out in public. I'm scared to take medication because of the side effects. Iv been taking CBS oil and that kind of helps but I still cant see myself going back to work. I might have to quit my job and now I feel stuck.

Hi

So reading between the lines you have been suffering bad with anxiety since September ?

Can you think of anything that may have triggered this ?

I totally understand your fear of medication and it is not always the road everyone want's to go down but have you thought about asking your Doctor to refer you for therapy or Counselling ?

We let are mind rush away with us with all the "what if's" this is an anxiety thing most of us do instead of staying in the now

Maybe you won't be well enough to return to work , but there is no need to give you job up as yet it is early days , if you are in the UK you will have to have more time of and see how things go with the right support in place

What you have said you should tell your Doctors all these fears they have heard it so many times and if you have or find a supportive Doctor they will help you

You say you have not completely recovered but that means you have moved forward which you should feel proud of , the rest will come you just need more time which is perfectly normal x
