Hi Gill

 

Rember me? Tick?

How are you?

 

Ive reduced my Citalopram medeicine from 20mg to 10mg. Idk whats happening to me....Im feeling very anxious...someone please help me idk what to do im panicking i want to die

Hey tick man, sorry to hear you're having a bad time. Maybe its a side effect of reducing your dose. Is the reduction on doctors advice? Call your doctor in the morning and ask them to advise what to do. Hang in there dude. If those feelings become too strong don't be afraid to call 999. 

Keep breathing, nice and slow deep breaths. You are going to be ok

Hi Gill

 

Sorry to hear about stephen.

I was thinking it could be from the med change too.  It could just be an initial withdrawal though.  Thinking of you.

I spoke to doc...he's advised me to go back into therapy.  

I contacted the therapy guys waiting for a reply. 

 

Idk what happening to me....I'm getting worried about my passport issue again despite the lawyer telling me i don't need to do anything.

 

I'm feeling terrified,  unsettled,  scared....what am I gonna do???

You are going to do what you did last time and the time before that and every time since the beginning.

You know what to do, Tick. Go and do it !!!! 

Have some confidence in yourself. You made great choices a year or more ago and you've been away because you've been enoying life in a pretty relaxed way.

I started to calm down last night but woke up this morning feeling paranoid about everything. 

I called a lawyer about this passport thing. I'm. Waiting for her email reply...she's off sick as well which is increasing my anxiety. 

 

I don't what is going to happen to me???

 

Why did the passport office change my name in 2004 (my request) and didn't ask for any evidence? ?

 

What if they will want evidence in the future and I don't have it???

 

What if???

 

What is gonna happen to me???????

 

[TheTick123 2]

I want to commit s****de

I'm going to prison and get my citizenship revoked.  

 

I want to end it all

 

[JOYCICLE 654]

How often has worst case scenario ever happened?

Why would you go to prison when you're born in the country you reside in?

I think your lawyer would have said to you this was urgent and there was potential prison time if that was even an option.

Go find something physical to do and don't stop doing it until you are not dwelling on this anymore.

 

[TheTick123 2]

I'm panicking. I'm anxious. 

I'm dizzy I'm shaking. 

Omg fml what's going to happen to me???

Someone help me please

You gotta get out of the house honey. You have to go out and do something and get off the computer and out of the ' dwelling' . You know that when you move your body, your thoughts settle, so go and move it. Nothing has happened. Nothing has changed. Nothing is different. Nothing bad is going to happen.

Yes, prove to yourself you can exert yourself without falling over or having a panic attack. Attack!! Now think about that. Panic 'attacks' you doesn't it?  Anxiety 'attacks' you. In attack your body responds in the only way it knows. It goes into the 'danger' mode. Getting you ready to run as caveman did. You tremble, sweat, have strange feelings, want to rush to the toilet! Dizzy  spells, eyes playing up? Stomach churning. Oh yes, I know. But it's that first flash of FEAR that does it. If, when it happens, you could say, 'OK, been here before, it always passes and this will too'. Stand your ground. Don't run away mentally in fear. The more you run the more it chases you. STOP!! take deep breaths and carry on with what you are doing, but with the feelings there. No pushing them away or fighting or struggling with them. Go with the flow. ALLOW it to happen, but at the same time accept it for what it is, no more than your body's response to danger. Ok?          Jon.
