Hi all. Long time no speak. After my initial breakdown in 2010, I have had a severe relapse. 8 years after the birth of my youngest child and I am scared. Massive levels of anxiety and numerous panicking attacks along g with horrible thoughts about wishing I didon't have children and about rehomeing my dogs. I am plagued by the idea of anything or anyone depending on me. I know it's the illness. I am back on citalopram and propranolol and I know they can have bad side effects for the initial period but I am so terrified of these feelings. I don't really know what I expect coming back on here other than I remember how caring you all were when I was ill before.

Victoria I remember you, I'm so sorry you're having another episode. I've had a couple of setbacks too since recovering. You will get through it, you must remind yourself you did it before, you'll do it again. It should be quicker this time too if you recognised it and sought help quicker. Do you know if something triggered this? Keep talking.

Great to hear from you and welcome back. Saying that I'm sorry you're struggling again. Has something triggered this blip? I think last time it was house move?
I know you're feeling awful at the moment with all the old fears and anxiety overwhelming you but it will pass. Yes the meds can feel awful initially but take everyday as it comes, you've done the right thing getting help which takes courage and determination. You'll get through it x

Hi both of you. Mum has cancer. She had a.total hysterectomy early last year but they missed some spread. She has chemo now as it's in her stomach lining and lungs and bowel. I have also been diagnosed with diabetes. Work is too much and I just can't cope with anything right now. My 15 yr old is poorly so got to take her to an emergency gp appointment at 12 today. I have managed to take the dogs round the block this morning and fed them so that's one thing less to feel guilty about. Xxx

Ah jeez Victoria no wonder you're struggling that's a huge weight on your mind. I'm so sorry about your mum and your own diabetes. How are you managing with the diabetes medication/diet changes?
