Hiya,

Thanks for sharing your story. Anxiety isn't a joke. Unless the person you were talking too had experienced it - fair enough.

You have friends !!!!!!!!! You went to a spa with friends during the heatwave - wow - now that is an amazing achievement. I don't have many people that I would call friends.

Even now, I'm at home with my husband and he's not talking to me and I don't know why. He has been diagnosed with Meloncholic Depression (excuse the spelling), hence he is amotivated, but very attached to me. I havent worked for 6 years - he's been pushing me and finally I got one. Now he's unhappy because I'm not home.

I still need to take my anti anxiety meds before work but hopefully, once i've settled in I can reduce them.

Anxiety is an issue I am passionate about - others dont understand - they say your just nervous, butterflies in your stomach - nup. Anxiety can stop you from living, stops you from keeping in touch with friends etc - you know what I mean.

Anyway - well done and stay with us mate !!!!!!!!
