Re: Re anxiety

Hi @Nattysa just stopping by quickly to say welcome to the forums. I’m sorry things are difficult for you at the moment and that the medication you tried wasn’t good. Sometimes it can take time to find the right one… and it’s well worth the time and effort, I’ve found great help and relief from medication.

Re: Re anxiety

hey there @Nattysa, welcome to the forums ❤️

it sounds like things have been really intense lately. It's understandable that you're struggling, although I wish it were different for you ❤️ I hope you find our community supportive.

Have you spoke with your GP about the medication? Like @Bow said, for some of us, it can take a while to find the right one. I know for me, I had a few weeks of side-effects, but they helped a great deal. But your doctor will be the best person to speak to.

I thought I'd tag a handful of our community guides for you to meet and connect to @Faith-and-Hope @Judi9877 @NatureLover @outlander@Shaz51 @ShiningStar @Snowie @MDT @wellwellwellnez @maddison @pinklollipop15

Sounds like a heap of things to be going through aye.

You sound like you know yourself when you say "I've let that get to me so much"

Hi @Nattysa and welcome to the forums.

Sorry to read about your struggles and that the meds haven’t helped. It can be a bit tricky sorting out what works best

I hope you find the forums supportive. A handy tip is to type @and a list will come up allowing you to respond to particular individuals.

Take care, 💙
