I originally joined this site in July at the peak of my Anxiety.
I have been seeing a pyshciatrist and taking fluoxetine. I am still doing both but not seeing the Dr as often.
Like all other posts by other members, I had 100's of symptoms and was too convinced that I am dying from all these terrible illnesess and couldn't be left in the house on my own and my Mum had to move in to help me to look after my 2 children
Well 5 months later I am so much better, they symptoms have reduced to the fact that I feel almost "back to my old self"
I have 2 hurdles left...the easy one, going to do the weekly shop on my own, which I am now thinking of doing.
My biggest thing, is the panic attacks (more like bad sensations rather than a full panic attack) that I am still having to do with dying, evoloution, end of the world, life after death etc etc.....you get the theme. My 5yrs old even started talking to me about dinosaurs and I couldn't cope with that !!
I don't talk to anyone about this as I feel silly to do so, I have spoken about it a few times to my Pyschiatrst but he just confirms that it is a common anxiety fear of dying..............please tell me I am not alone
