New, could do with chats!

[freya]

Hi I'm new to this site.
Joined just now because I have no-one to chat to.
I live alone, have a good job, nice flat and car but I'm incredibly lonely. I'm only 27 and not fat or ugly! I'm not a horrible person so not sure why I'm lacking on the friend's side!

I was put on Prozac about 3 years ago , the nightmares were too much for me after 2 years of them and I felt the tablets weren't really working. So I asked my GP if I could change them. I am now taking venlafaxine, I think for about 2 months now. Side effects ... Just as bad nightmares and night sweats. So today I forget my dose - bad mistake. Just one day of forgetting a stupid little pill and I'm almost falling over with dizziness. So bad I have to ask a colleague to drive me home from work. This can't be right!
Take my tablet when I get in and since then, 3 hours ago, I've sobbed myself silly that I've been sick and I don't even know why!
I want to get off any tablets. I want to be normal. Have friend's and enjoy myself , but I haven't been able to snap out of it.
I have looked at postings on here and every single person seems to have worse depression or anxiety but still I can't see any positives at all
Please someone talk to me

Annoying you can't private message until you've made ten posts! What's that all about!

[freya]

Also ... Are most people on here from USA?

Hi Freya, just read your post and think it's important for you to know that you are not alone, I too suffer from a major anxiety disorder and it absolutly sux! I try to stay as positive as I can and believe there is hope! I'm available for chat if you'd like, always helps to talk about it.
