medication for anxiety!

Hi Meg. I was diagnosed 14 months ago aged 23. I had suffered all my life with bullying and other obvious issues but nobody ever questioned them. At 17 i was shoved in a psychiatric hospital and have been in several more times. I have been on anti depressants/anxieties since i was 16, but was mis diagnosed twice by psychiatrists in the mental hospital. I have been on my current mix of 4 different sorts of meds for almost a year. I'm not saying everyone on here has meds or agrees with them but i know for the past few years and forseeable future (according to my GP) i am comfortable on mine and would not cope without them.

I don't have any support from professionals and struggle but have a brilliant mum who is my voluntary carer.

My confidence has soared since my third lot of meds were introduced. Mum says they are truth tablets. Haha.

I wish all of you lots of luck with your diagnsois' as mine took a few years to be sorted.

Hope i have helped and not hindered or moaned.
