Hi Mylo

Yes sure, I'll message you with the link. I'm sure it'll be very helpful for you. Understanding has been a huge help in my recovery and also preventing from it all returning too.

Yes katecogs you are famous and a lifesaver!! I am now 8 weeks in on the Celexa and still am struggling big time but the resources you have emailed me have been a life saver. Progress is very slow. I am still not sleeping on my own, still struggle for most of the day but the anxiety is slowly losing a little of its edge.

I have shared the resources with my own GP and therapist as I so related to everything in there. Hopefully my GP and therapist will share with other patients who are in this horrible spot and shared them in my own community with families who have been struggling with anxiety issues. We are all helping each other and being supportive of each other is very important in trying to get to the other side of the tunnel. Thank you!!

hi Leonie

Lol cheesygrin Just passing on what helped me and see ... you're already passing on to help others too!! Yes its good to help each other. I also found it related to everything I read in the books too - it was the first time ever anything made sense to me, and more than psychologist had back then.

8 weeks - yes still fairly early. Progress is slow - I remember it trickled in, in fact so slow I hardly noticed it happening. But yes the anxiety eased slightly for me, but it was still there. But little by little things eased off and I started getting little glimpses of 'myself' and it was a great relief. Those little glimpses just happened at night for me - just 10 mins to start with, which slowly grew over the months.

It often takes a long time to become unwell with anxiety and so it'll take equally the same amount of time to heal too.

Hi fay

I'll private message you these too as can't post links on the forum. xx

nh_user_1166620 · Avril 18, 2018, 4:58

Katecogs,

Could you forward me the book as well. I find for me it helps to read as and learn as much as I can about this. Also, I read through your past posts and kept noticing you talking about relaxing into the feelings, did you follow any guide for this or was it something you developed yourself? I started a mindfulness program that sounds very similar but is hard to cultivate. Any additional tips or guides would be great.

Thanks

nh_user_1171638 · Avril 18, 2018, 10:14

Katecogs, could I also please have the link?

Thanks so much! Need all the help I can get :-).

Hi Matthew

Yes I'll send you the link to via private message. Relaxing into the feelings I learnt through a book too - I'll tell you about it in the message. I expect the Mindfulness programme could be along similar lines, as I think this method is becoming more recognised now.

It is a simple method and one that makes perfect sense - but it is hard to do as you have to work with the anxiety there. But its something that you'll always have with you, and its certainly worked for me.

Katecogs · Avril 19, 2018, 11:20

Hi Kelly

Will do. I'll send via private message xx.

Hi everyone esp. Katecogs !

Recovery is possible for those of us who are patient. Two years ago I was put on tramadol for a terrible bad back and after severely disagreeing with me it's taken up till now and with a terrible journey adjusting to citalopram to get back to somewhere near normal. I ended up with severe anxiety following the tramadol fiasco and citalopram rescued me. It took 6 to 7 months on citalopram until the nausea and burning legs and sleeplessness finally diminished , had a few blips since but just wanted to offer you all some hope that some sense if normality will return.

Katecogs, I think we should get royalties from that book ha !
