Hello from Australia

Hi everyone

Just a short bio:
I'm a 39yr old male. I'm Dutch but I live in Australia.
Five years ago I had anxiety problems related to work.
Since February of this year my anxiety disorder has returned, in a much nastier way. I have had pretty much every symptom there is, usually several at any one time.
I am in therapy. I don't use any prescribed medication because whenever I have tried them I reacted really badly to them. I have just started taking St. John's Wort because I read a lot of good things about it.
I meditate, excercise and watch my diet.

I'm very interested in reading all of your posts and experiences and I hope I can make some contributions here and there myself! :)

May I ask what kind of therapy? Last week I went to a group session but today I was too tired to go......It's for people with social phobia, or social anxiety....which I know I have had all my life because I am shy, but it's hereditary. Can you let me know, on and off how that St. John Wort is affecting you? I also have just joined a women's fitness club. Tomorrow I am meeting again with my trainer for an assessment and measurement. I eat healthily too. My weight is good, I am slim.
