hey all, I am not from Melbourne but I'm an aussie and I'm in Queensland. I have just joined this forum as it was the only forum I could find that included aussies. I have suffered anxiety for some time but seems now at 30yrs old it is getting worse, I don't know why. I have two sons aged 6yrs and 1 yr old. I live somewhere where I don't know anybody really, and don't really want to, lol. But, I am finding it very difficult when I pick up my son from school, I have had a panic attack or two or three at his school and since then I find it extremely difficult to talk to anyone at school. This makes it very difficult when his teacher approaches me, or when I wish to know how his day was ie. behaviour, schoolwork, and how he is basically going when I cannot find the confidence to even say hello to his teacher, grrr. I am sure that at least someone on here can relate to this. I don't know, I am on zoloft 100mg a day prescribed by my local doc, things is, it worked to start with but now it's like, one day it works the next it doesn't. So in some pathetic way to attempt to control it myself, I have upped the dosage to twice a day so thats 200mg a day, one in morning and one at night. Sometimes I cannot even go to the local shop and buy milk or bread its like omg wtf I just want to go to the shop get what I need and come home. How god damn hard is that, hmm yes well, truth is, most times it is...
Anyway atm I am intoxicated and I am about to go to bed but just grateful and happy I finally found this site/forum.
Finally some where to vent how I feel and hopefully nobody will judge my babble, lol.
Anybody else have the same kind of problems or have difficulty with the same situations?
I need to know I am not alone
Going to the doc again tomorrow to let him know I upped my zoloft and where to go from here, who knows?!
