[Lost84]

Hi,

I'm new here and from the uk, I'm 29 and think I've always suffered with anxiety to some degree but I feel it's getting worse. I've had factors in my life recently that have made me more anxious and constant worry is a big thing in my life at the moment. My ex fiancé is also suffering from depression and has pushed me away and withdrawn.

I have support but not a huge amount of friends. I sometimes feel like no one understands which makes me feel very alone. I've recently been referred by the doctor to 6 weeks of CBT but I don't feel it's helping, it's changing the way I think I am having problems with.

I don't want to be like this anymore and am trying a lot of things to try and help myself but its like most things, you have good and bad and i'll be honest I have more bad days than good! It's letting my negative thoughts swamp me that's the issue.

Hi there, I'm a newbie too :-)
Can totally relate- I'm always a glass half empty kind of girl :-)
I'm too fed up of feeling like this- I had a few sessions with a hypnotherapist but what she done didn't seem to give me any benefit. I'm yet to approach my GP- probably due to the fact because of all this going on in my head I'm scared he will think
I'm being a drama queen ( I have had a few health issues over last few years which has also caused anxiety- tho I have never admitted to my doctor how I feel.
Just sick to death of being like this- has its peaks and troughs and I'm generally a happy person, but there's only my husband a close friends who know what goes on inside my head.
Hoping too for some advice and to relate to others in same boat :-) x
