Hi Helen

Welcome to the group. ..hope you are ok. I to have been suffering from anxiety and found talking and sharing feelings without judgment has been really helpful.Take care

Thank you all who have replied

i have had anxiety for 2 years and the past year I lost my father its has been a very hard year.

There are days when its extremely hard.

I was on medication and decided to stop taking them the past month i have days where I'm constantly thinking about my father.

Hi Lina

welcome ☺

Hi Helen hope you are ok. I got anxiety just out of the blue about 8 months ago abd really struggled with all the different symptoms it brought on especially nausea abd gagging everyday. Ive been seeing a physcologist which seems to help me cope better . Im sorry to hear about your father.Anxiety is really awful lm still trying to understand it but it has got better in time. Take care

Hi Helen

Thank you for the kind posts to everyone :-) Hope you are doing okay....My dad Raymond passed away in November 2016 and I feel your pain.....and it hurts....big time

Thankyou heaps JillG, Linacruise1467 for helping supporting Helens thread topic

I have had chronic anxiety for a few years and it does get a bit easier with frequent counseling...Our GP's can be a huge help when we need help too.....Making a double appointment can be a smart move so we can heal more effectively

The forums are a safe and non judgemental place to post. Everyone's well being and privacy is paramount to Beyond Blue

you are not alone

Hi Helen, I'm extremely sorry for the loss of your father, and know that it's so sad to realise that someone who you could trust is no longer with you, my sincere condolences.

I am worried that you have stopped taking your medication because when people decide to do this after a few weeks there is a possibility of falling back, we don't want this to happen to you.

I'm also sorry that I am a few days late in responding back to you.

My Best.

Geoff.
