Struggling with Anxiety!

I am struggling so much with anxiety! It used to be ok and bearable but it's now unbearable and I'm struggling to manage it! My GP diagnosed me with Generalised Anxiety Disorder and it's causing me a lot of physical symptoms like dizziness. I can no longer go in to town, if I do I get so dizzy I end up falling over! At home I headaches, dizzy, feel sick, hands shake and that's just at home...

I've said to my GP and she can offer me anti anxiety medication but said there's little else can be done to help me. She also suggested talking therapies but she's not sure given my current state how well I'll respond to it. 

I'm so tired of this now and frustrated. I just want to get on and enjoy my life but I'm plagued by anxiety and it's ruining me.

If anyone here suffers the same please will you tell me how you deal with this.

Thanks,

Sarah.

  • I think medication helped me a bit, but honestly I wish I was dealing with it. Three times I've fallen apart and been completely overwhelmed by anxiety and it's taken months at least to get back to anything approaching comfortable. The last one was last year and every day is still ruled by worry about whether something will set off a downward spiral back to nothing.
