Re: anxiety panic depression and migraine aura

one thing that is beginning to happen is that things are coming out . I have noticed it many times before but only actually said this to my husband this morning. I cant look people in the eye when talking to them I am okay with close friends and family but anyone else I cant do it . My husband said I couldn't look the doctor in the face on Monday .

If you don't feel comfortable doing this, then try not to worry about it. Some people find this very difficult to do anyway.... but it should get easier over time as you begin to talk things through and your confidence starts to come back.

One step at a time Hun x

Re: anxiety panic depression and migraine aura

I haven't taken any of the medication yet because of my phobia and my doctor told me to only take them when I feel ready , I am okay about talking about the bad things that happened to me I think because it was a man last time I was unable to talk and that caused me to panic

Re: anxiety panic depression and migraine aura

Propanalol is for blood pressure but you may hallucinate on it, so be mindful of that. Citalopram is to regulate your moods but it can sometimes take time to get the right level for yourself. What kind of side effects are you experiencing from Citalopram?



The bad things that have happened to you in the past are things that you may be asked to look at as part of your counselling/therapy. If you are not comfortable doing this, then no-one will push you... but it means that it will be difficult to help you come to terms with things in your past that are still affecting you now. Many people push things into the back of their psyche in order to keep going and it can often be a painful journey to start bringing some of these feelings out into the open... but please try. How would you feel about doing this?

I agree that you need to feel comfortable talking to whoever is appointed to see you.... so if you don't feel comfortable with you current counsellor, spend some time thinking about why that could be before going back to your GP.

thank you I have my first appointment 28th January , there are many bad things that have happened to me which I couldn't mention on here which have and do still plague me at times I want to move on and I want to be back at work again but I cant even do that right now I feel safe at home , if I even walk to shop for a loaf of bread I can feel the panic starting and if someone speaks to me in the shop and tries to engage in conversation about something I can feel my breathing getting bad and I want run out of the shop, it happened last Wednesday when I was at band practice I was fine while singing but once the key board player started talking to me about just everyday things I felt panic rising into my throat and I wanted to get out I don't know why this happens because its a normal thing to do and I haven't always had this . I saw a counsellor back in 1996 and I remember running out as I had a panic attack and it was a man who was the counsellor I felt uneasy with him so this time its a woman I hope I feel more relaxed and don't panic . Strange thing panic isn't it ?

Re: anxiety panic depression and migraine aura

I've had propanolol in the past which didn't really do anything for me. I'm currently prescribed citalopram to help with night sweats but an additional benefit is that it helps with the anxiety.

does the citalopram give you any side effects ?

Hiya Spent2Much

Didn't want to read and run , your doing the best thing to help you on your road to recovery ,talking about it ,and finding others who know exactly how you feel . That feeling of knowing your not the only one suffering these panic / anxiety attacks can be empowering . It's not silly to mourn for your cat ,it was part of your family ,so cry for it just as you would for any of your family .
I understand what you are going through ,not nice and very scary ,but your on the road to recovery with some of the things you have already taken on , it will not happen overnight but you'll get there .
Take care of yourself

aww thank you... I'm sure they'd add crazy in there somewhere! lol

I think the path to feeling positive will come when you log on with a positive name... like... A Smile a Day! ... I'm sure you do have one... (( hug )) you need lots of cuddles..
