This is intended to be a personal diary, just to spring clean some of the shit that's clogging the filing cabinets of my brain, making it hard for me to function ^-^
If you know me well you will know I have had anxiety for nearly 4 years and I am currently taking a drug called Citalopram! For those that didn't know, well, now you do! I have been on other drugs and have had Cognitive Behaviour Therapy but lately I have relapsed. My life has changed so much over that time that I am struggling to make sense of possible causes, triggers, cures, safety behaviours and so on... This will hopefully help me to share and explain some of my fears, actions and hopes.
I just need to draw some of this crap out!
I've suffered from terrible anxiety for years myself. I was a complete recluse from 18 to 23. I've also been on Citalopram on and off years. Tried CBT too. I find living with anxiety has it's ups and downs. I have my relapses too. You'll pull through it again.
ReplyDeleteIt's good to see that you are trying to find positive ways of getting through this horrible stuff.
ReplyDeleteI hope the road to feeling better is short.
*hugs*
Thank you for your wonderful comments ^-^
ReplyDeleteIt was my 23rd Birthday present I think >:| It's clinging to 'hope' that I find the most challenging! Sometimes I have none and I can't remember what it was like when I had it. At the moment I am clawing some back from somewhere! I don't think CBT worked for me... I found it too hard!
