[QUOTE="kevinfitzgerald, post: 855356, member: 88583"] Hiya and welcome to the forum. I have suffered anxiety all my life. I was diagnosed roughly 6/7 years ago as having GAD (Generalised Anxiety Disorder) which basicly means I am in a state of anxiety most of the time ! It is quite debilitating and at times the smallest things can send me in to a state of analysing absolutely everything (which makes it even worse!) People who do not understand anxiety think it's just a case of "pulling" oneself together ! When I have it bad it takes over totally. I start concentrating on negatives and see no positives what so ever. If 99% of my day goes well I will obsess about the 1% that didn't and worry myself sick about it. Right now I'm thinking about work tomorrow and what will happen ! I have taken Citalopram and I have also been on Sertraline over the years though I am no longer taking anti depressants for it. I was referred for CBT and this was fantastic. It gave me tools to cope and made me realise that my anxieties were caused mainly by my own extreme thought processes and unnatural way that I perceive things. I still use the strategies learnt but anxiety still plays a huge part in my life and I totally relate to everything you stated in your post. Talking about it to others that are going through it also helps because at times I can think I am totally on my own ! Feel free to PM me if you wish. :nailbiting: (Even my smiley suffers with it !)
