i am really really negative about everything.. my mind does'nt stop - thinking about anxiety & depression - im thinkng there going to make me worse or thinking how are they going to work for me.... i just can't carry on like this though! i have bought that many books on anxiety & depression & thinking positive... my house is like a library.. inc the linden method - they just dont seem to help me..
i also seem to suffer from scary thoughts like 'what if ' i lose control and harm someone ( i can brush these thoughts off though ) because i know i would'nt ever do that! most off my thoughts at this moment in time are making me anxious - i seem to be stuck in this negative pattern.. and just dont feel myself at all ( but then again i dont know what myself is anymore..
just wondering if anyone could answer a few questions.. i would be most greatful!!
are Citalopram best used with cbt?
do they quash negative thought patterns? or is that up to me ?
will the anxiety increase when i start them ( i have the felling that i will make the anxiety increase with my thoughts )
is it best to start on 10mg then upto 20mg ( i have been given 20mg to take at night )
i have nothing in my life to make me depressed.. its my way of thinking thats gets me down.. i have suffered a few knocks in the last few months ( mother passed away - split with my girl friend - work stresses etc ( but i was given Citalopram before any of that happened ) so maybe now i really need them..
im sure im going to take them but maybe need some more reasurance..
sorry for the essay
