Hi Jay, I don't know about anxiety being passed down through genes, I believe it's more nurture than nature. My mum, dad, nan have anxiety, to varying degrees and I believe that I learnt anxiety from their behaviour. I think anxiety can come from how you communicate with your children, for instance ...

Wasn't sure where to put this because its about public speaking and anxiety... I'm feeling a bit tired out at the moment. I've just finished an A Level Psychology. Before that had finished, I started a pre-access course, this was on the advice of my teacher who is also teaching one of the pre-access...

Thanks for replying. No, I'm not going to do anything until the exams are over, I cant, all my energy is going into them. I think next week I'm going to have a bit of well deserved me time. With no studying/revising to do I can take care of me maybe more than I have been. And the week after that is ...

Hi everybody, For several years I was on an anti-depressant, cant think of the name of it now but it wasn't citalopram. Over the years my GP increased the dose, when I was going through a particularly rough time, to 3 a day. I was working last year and started sweating a lot mainly on my head, my ha...

Hi lilangellis, I'm sorry you're feeling this way. I think one of the things you need to do is sit down with your boyfriend and tell him how you feel and what you're thinking and be honest with him. This probably wont be easy and it might be the last thing you want to do, but until these fears are a...

After YEARS of being fascinated by the subject, I started the first year of A level psychology last september. It has raised my self esteem, purely for the fact that my anxiety is not stopping me from going, even when the course was changed from morning to afternoon (my worst time). I've met some re...

Hi, I came off the meds around June last year. I was on them for several years, 3-4 I think, and in the end they weren't monitored by my GP. I'd basically put in the repeat prescription every month and pick them up. I stopped because I started sweating MAJORLY, from my head, I mean it would pour off...

Hi janeyjane, I came off a quite high dosage, 3 a day, last june of a different anti-depressant to you, cant remember what they're called now. Around september time I started to feel down and a bit hopeless again and like everything was an effort. I'd heard lots of talk of St John's Wort and started...

Thanks for that chijcy. I've sent you a message Adge.

Hi again, It would be nice to keep in contact, it certainly helps to speak to someone who's feeling the same way as you. Yeah contact by email would be fine by me. Not sure if you can PM on here, so we could swap email address's privately. Anyone know if thats possible? How are you feeling at the mo...

I know exactly how you feel A and know how hard it is. I could have wrote your post! To get rid, you should ACCEPT/LOVE yourself. Start with YOURSELF. I kind of agree with that, but its not easy. I work now, thankfully, but the anxiety and issues I have are still having an impact on my life. I'm sor...

Not sure if this is the right board for this but I could really do with some help/advice. I've had anxiety my whole life, suffered with depression because of it for a few years, but I think I've been able to drag myself out of that and after many years on AD's, I had to stop due to side effects, I'm...

Hi, I recently started SJW. I was on AD's for years but had to stop last summer. I started feeling a bit down and anxious around september time last year, started SJW and they help me. Re the pill, yep talk to a pharmacist. It states on the box of SJW's to talk to your GP or a pharmacist if taking t...

Thankyou for the quick replies. A popular herbal remedy (at least in Europe) is St John's Wort (Hypericum). I believe it is particularly popular in Germany, and may even be available on prescription there. It seems to help with mild to moderate depression, but if I remember rightly, research has sho...

Hi everyone, I suffered from depression for a LONG time and was on meds for about 5 years. I came off them in the summer as they were causing me to sweat excessively. I was fine. I have a job that I love and everything was great. But, since the middle of last week I'm feeling a little depressed. I'm...
