So I'm somewhat new to this and felt that I really needed to have a place to vent and chat.
I don't really know where to begin with my story as it's all confusing and very fresh to me. My experiences of anxiety are very new and because I don't fully know what it is I'm dealing with I was wondering whether I could have thoughts and advice from others.
To begin with I suffer from Borderline Personality disorder and have battled with depression for many years. I have got myself to the point in my life where I feel I am managing it very well. However, over the past few weeks I have been increasingly suffering with anxiety.
It all began with a relationship I was in and the issues with it. I kept finding myself in stressful situations and found one day I couldn't eat and was becoming very panicky and almost disorientated. I decided to go to the doctors and was prescribed a 3x 2mg dosage of Diazepam. These tablets have been very helpful but I'm still finding it a struggle to eat. I'm unsure if this is down to the anxiety or the fact my body has got so used to it. If I do eat I find myself automatically being sick or the feeling like I HAVE to be sick. Has anyone else suffered from it? I'm also worried that when I don't have the diazepam to help me any more I'm going to still be stuck with this problem.
It's so confusing as this is completely different to depression that I have suffered from. It feels like it's really impacting my body and I'm on the verge of a burn out.
Anyhoo, sorry for the long winded post.
