Hi everyone
I'm Deb aged 38,became a single mum 2 years ago and i have 3 sons,work part time,just going through a divorce.Started having panic attacks/anxiety in may this year.Suffered in silence for awhile and then saw my gp when things got really bad and i was very low,went for a course of counselling and tried prozac(didn't suit me)and then 5htp and my anxiety improved a lot.Very sadly my sister died on the 23rd oct after suffering with cancer for the past 2 yrs,and now the panic/anxiety has returned in a big way.i have started taking the 5htp again and have requested counselling through work but that will take a little time so i hope this programme will help me.i feel that i'm not able to grieve for my sister due to the anxiety,it seems to make me hold all my feelings in and i cant seem to cry or even think about my sister,its almost like i'm in a kind of limbo.Any advice would be very welcome and my thoughts are with all of you as these feelings are hard to bear and i don't believe that you realise just how bad they can make you feel until you experience them yourself.
