I am so pleased there are other people out there that feel the same as me, I was starting to think I was crazy.I'm not very good talking to people about how I feel so this is a real stretch for me but I think it might help. My doctor suggested I try going to a self help group as well as taking flu but thats just too intimidating for me. Looking on this website I found it to be really helpful to see how other people are feeling and how depression and anxiety is affecting their lives. I'm really scared about some of the possible side effects but I don't want to feel this way anymore. It's ruining my relationships with friends and loved ones. I feel like I want to say much more about how I feel and whats happening but I feel stupid talking about it because there are people with much igger problems than me and they handle it perfectly without falling to pieces. I hope someone understands what I mean...
hey, I do understand wot u mean, When i first started reading wot other people were sayin i felt like id no right to feel crap.its such a complex illness, everyones circumstances are different. I was scared of taking flu coz ov the side effects and how it would make me feel,Im two weeks in and havin had some scary side effects i can tel u i feel a different person, alot less anxious and low, im 39 female and have lived with this from very young, i just wish id av done something earlier. stick with it and in a few wks you may feel confident enough to go to a group. Im sure like everyone else on here including myself your journey is just beginning, and its really good that people are willing to share their experiences on here which has helped me feel loooads better, good luck
Wildgirl, dont be affraid to share your feeling and experiance on here no one is here to judge only offer support and someone else could be feeling the same as you. Everyone has different problems and experiances and thats why this forum helps me anyway so much. I get encouragement and strength from it so much.
