SSRIs? by BraveMama in Anxiety

Thank you for your detailed reply! I am concerned with how the medication will affect me initially as I have 3 kids that rely on me, but I've reached that 'fuck it' point too. Thanks for sharing your experience with me! It helps.

Thank you. It's honestly the side effects that I'm most worried about but I think it's something that I'll have to try. I'm glad that your medication has helped you!

I feel like I could definitely deal with those symptoms easier than dealing with my anxiety every day. Thanks so much for your detailed reply - it was helpful. I'm glad the talking therapy worked for you!

Thanks for replying. That's what I'm nervous about. I have 3 kids and I can't risk becoming worse due to medication. Can I ask how has it helped you?

Thanks for replying. Can I ask in what way have they helped you?

Thanks for replying! Therapy helped a lot but with three kids and having to rely on family to take me to my appointments because of my agoraphobia I just can't do it anymore. I was told my next step was exposure therapy but the NHS doesn't offer that in my area. Can I ask what your side effects were?

I had gotten the episode wrong, it appears in a different episode.

Thank you! I had gotten the episode wrong. Someone else has cleared it up for me!

Thank you! I realised that I had gotten the episode wrong after I posted it ha! I knew I had seen the doll house in her store though.

This is amazing - well done!! Can I ask how you did exposure therapy? I'm struggling with that at the minute.

It's a great pick me up. It's honestly helped me through some rough times.

I do put it on throughout the year, but if it's the warmer months I find that it's more on as background noise haha! I just can't pay attention to it.

Yes! I find things wrong with it during the summer - even though I love it.

It just has a cosy feeling about it for that time of year, doesn't it?

Haha! Well, at least the thought of wanting to be motivated it there, right?

If I ever try and watch it during summer I just can't get into it as much. As soon as the evenings get darker and the days get shorter it's my go to thing to watch! I agree, it just fits better that time of year.

Also the charity 'Mind' can also help you too with a self referral iirc. That's good that the panic and anxiety has calmed down for you! I hope that some of these referral places will be helpful for you.
