Hi all, I have stumbled across this forum by accident but immediately I feel like a stand a chance of finally finding some support that no one in my life at present can understand.
I have suffered with depression and anxiety for many years and finally in January this year admitted that I needed help as my problem was taking over my life. I went to visit my GP who prescribed mirtazapine 15mg. I have been on this since then and things have defintly improved although I still get panicky in some situations. I am due back at the GP in the next couple of weeks so going to discuss either a change or an increase in dosage of meds.
I was coping fantastically up until last year when I lost my first dog :( she had been in my life since the anxiety started and suddenly she wasn't their to get me through. I still don't know how I am managing without her and now due to my anxiety and a situation I was put in I have fallen out with my best friend - who was more like a sister to me than a friend and I am finding it really hard to cope right now.
I show my dogs at championship level and have been able to do this with my friends support. I have my first show this weekend without her by my side and I am already doubting whether to go :(
I am hoping I can get some support from this site and hopefully find someone to talk to who understands and can help me with this.
Thanks for reading :)
