Wall of Successes!....:D

[Enduronman]

We have all seen, and met, many new people here over this past year, and or specifically the month Of December come to mind. I know that there are many, many members that arrived during that particular month too. (Its a tough month, family, gatherings, social events, etc)....

I KNOW that there have been many people who began here in a huge slump, a hole, what seemed to be a bottomless pit of despair...but

Many of those very people, are now making great progress at a very fast pace and speed.

I would (we all would) like to know who you are, and how you're come so far, so quickly....

Many names come to mind, but I don't want to leave anyone out, so, if you consider yourself and your acheivements as a success and different than where you were a month ago, or two,....then PLEASE post your thoughts here for all of us to see.

Whether that just be a change of mindset, a new medication, a new therapy, a new book,...PLEASE tell us all..

Wishing, waiting, and hoping to hear from the dozen of you that I know are succeeding today.


Thinking of you all, and wishing you all better days too!

To cut a very long story short

My dad died 2 years ago and ever since then I have body scanning myself without realising it! In may I got promoted at work to medical secretary and it was all done hill from there. Typing letters seeing people's symptoms and doctors referring them to specialists drive me nuts.

Anyway jump forward to September I had a migrane which lead to a panic attack (I didn't know this at the time) I thought I was dying and because out of hours sent an ambulance I really thought I was dying! I felt bad for a couple of days after it infact I felt paralysed. I promised myself I wouldn't let it consume me but I did 6 weeks of living in bed before I decided to get help.

I was initially started on propanolol 10mg omg I had the 5 panic attacks one after another but decided to stick with it and increase my dose I eventually found a dose that worked for me not amazing but took the edge off! But then it started coming back and depression set in so I started Sertraline in November!

Jump forward to now I am now on 100mg Sertraline and 60mg propanolol this works amazing for me I have lost the fear if I get anxious I can dismiss it before it spirals and by loosing the fear I have lost the anxiety!

I have a little anxiety now but that's because I have increased my meds CBT really helps too it helps you understand that your prob feeding the anxiety more than anything else.

Anyway enough from me but I just keep getting better each day

Merely knowing i suffer from anxiety has helped me. I was going through life with no understanding of my feelings, what was causing these symptoms, doctors had no answers for me (yea, not a single doctor offered up anxiety as a possible cause) and still won't acknowledge it.

It was only in finding this community and reading the advice on offer, seeing people with the same symptoms as me that i realized that yes, i have what these people have, and it's called anxiety! WooHoo!

People here are strong, living with anxiety or any mental disorder is bloody hard and everyone here is caring and open to the feelings of others.

This community is a blessing for sufferers of anxiety and i hope as i learn to cope with mine i can offer advice to any new comers who are perhaps as confused as i was when i first joined.
