Hey everyone
I have been lurking on this site for the last few months, decided to come out of shadows and make myself known.
I've been living with anxiety since January, I dealt with it some 8 years back and thought I was going to be fine forever, yes I've had the odd wobble over the years, but back in January there was an occurrence that sent be back to the dark times.
I'd been doing a part time masters degree since September 2010 (as well as working full time), and it was a welcome distraction for me. It kept my brain occupied, and didn't leave my brain much thought left to get all anxious. Then when I finished it, I was focused on whether or not I had passed. I did worry what would happen after I had finished it, alas nothing had yet so I thought I was safe.
How naive was I... Something happened 8 years ago which led me to feeling unsafe in my own house. Then in January, something similar happened which bought the feelings straight back. It then snowballed and grew into something a lot more than what started it, just like it did last time. I'm dealing with it though. I saw doctors, and they gave me pills to help. They didn't, but I was referred to a mental health person. She helped a heck of lot, and has registered me on a 4 week Mindfulness Course which I will be starting on May 18th.
So...that's me.
