Hey guys, I am Tristan, 25 yo. I am originally from Paris but have been living in London for 13 years 😊.
My story starts 4 years ago when I was in my 2nd year of uni. One day at a party ( I partied a lot ), I felt really strange and became aware that something was wrong, I decided to go back home and ditch my date. When I was just about to sleep, I could see my eyes closing slowly, unable to move a muscle or breathe and really felt death. That lead to a panic attack where I ended up in Ermengys. After that I suffered GAD with the main symptom of vertigo ( lasted a year ). All the tests came clean and doctors told me I had anxiety. I couldn't believe it as I was so calm and never stressed.
One day, I had another panic attack, I didn't know it was one at the time. My friend gave me an anti anxiety pill and 15 min later, I was in heaven, peacefull and slept like a baby in her arms. I knew it was really anxiety after that.
Since then my anxiety has been going in waves, 2 months where I feel good and 2 months in hell. I started escitalopram 5 months ago and stopped after 2 months because I felt just fine, that was a huge mistake !!
I finally had a job and could go out and be 'normal' when anxiety came back. Now It's been a month and I hardly do anything or leave the house. I get a panic attack at least once a day but I am slowly starting to deal with them. I just got escitalopram treatment again, I am actually not too fussed about starting it again since I got a new girlfriend and I know my libido will be so low. Without the treatment I can hardly ejaculate while intercourse, so I don't even want to know how it will be.
Anyway I could brag for hours, I don't really have social anxiety which is weird 😁 But the worst part is not knowing where your anxiety comes from ..
I will probably keep posting to tell you how my treatment goes and I am starting CBT monday too !
Peace and love !
