Hello
I am new to this forum but recently I have been diagnosed with Anxiety. My GP put me on Pronolol which I have only been taking for 4 days and she said it takes about a week to kick in.
My symptoms are no appetite at all, I have a lump feeling in my throat constantly, im on edge, and no motivation/not interested in my usual things.
Can anybody help? I am suffering no depression
Pronolol...
Do you mean propanolol?
Oops yep sorry!
Have you developed any coping mechanisms to be able to deal with anxiety on your own, or are you currently in receipt of any kind of therapy besides that of medication?
No I am not having any therapy. I don't really know how to deal with it I just try to put it to the back of my mind which probably is not the best thing to do. I am constantly worrying about my appetite and why it has gone/why it is not returning.
Depending on the severity of your condition, you probably should have been referred to your local mental health trust for a course of CBT (or cognitive behavioural therapy) by your GP. Surprised he didn't go down that route with you.
In the meantime, if you'd like some tips on how to cope with some of the physiological aspects of anxiety then I will happily share some information.
Yes please could you please message me
Done 
How do get messenging on your account, I would like that
Hi Sarah, you can visit your GP just to be on the safe side but it looks like most of it is anxiety related issues. I have been through 10 yearts of it, if you would like to discuss on how to tackle this issue, then message me.
