hi everyone i posted my situation a few months ago,i have come back to let you all know how i am now,i feel 100%better then i did 10 months ago,i stayed on 20mg citalopram instead of going up to 30mg as i did not want to take a high dose well it as worked for me but not just taking medication i have also thinking positively and say chants in my head if i feel i am anxious i sing im H.A.P.P.Y in my head and breath deeply i know it sounds mad but it really worked for me.at the beging i had severe anxiety i thouht my life was over it took 10 months to get to where i am now and i am not going back there,it really helped me to talk to people on the forum so thanks all for that .anyone who is still struggling it will get better just have positive thinking work hard at it and then one day it will go and you will be fine i still do my chants when nessasary .hope this helps to know you will come through it ,
Well done you! There is hope for everyone here. Neil

Just started citalopram 2 weeks ago.
It's hell at the moment.
Want my life back.
hi hun ,i understand completly where you are coming from,my whole life was full of heartache and pain i had a lot off things happen to me and in my life.i am 57 always been a strong person and very independant but 11months ago i got severe anxiety on top off my depression and i thought i was going crackers i honestly thought i would be sectioned i felt that bad ,but if you look at my recent post on how i feel now you will see that you will get better it takes time and a lot of self belief fighting against 24 7 but i did and it worked you cannot just rely on medication go on google and get some self help info and try it out .i really hope you feel better soon hun ,good luck .
Keep asking myself why? Why?...
I know there is no point to ask myself that...I know what you mean about hospital...sometimes I'm saying to myself...you rather go to the hospital Liana...what for? How can they help? They can't. But I'm determined to fight it. I have all the reasons on this planet, I would do all my mind is telling me not to, that there is no point or why should I bother or its not worth it. I am looking for support everywhere, Google. You tube. I will start CBT on Friday.
I just don't know....I'm speechless...it's nothing worst than not being in a good state of mind. Even if you have cancer if your mind is strong you can fight it, what are we to do when our own minds turn in our worst enemy? X
It took me months to feel better .my anxiety symptoms send me to hospital after brain MRI..torso exrays...blood work twice...it was all anxiety related ..it took me months to feel better on celexa...after been on 5 ssris..that my body didn't like...all the withdrawal from those five meds..plus my celexa journey..I feel alot better on 10 milligrams of celexa now for 14 months and counting..u will feel better...trust me.take care
Oh last but not least.. katecogs.made such a difference reading her comments..was like therapy for me.
