Hey.
I never suffered anxiety until I was approaching 45..then bang…it hit me out of the blue and has been constant in my life since then, I am now 49.
I was on cilitrapam but that did nothing, I am now on paroxetine 40mg. I was on 20 for a few years but January this year something changed and I had to up this.
I still wake most days with anxiety, but after an hour or so it passes.
I tried HRT and had a few months of relief
But then it all goes rubbish again. I’m having an HRT break at mo, really to see what my cycle is and also if there are moments when anxiety worse.
Exercise massively helps, walking outside is so good for your mindset. I have stopped drinking alcohol and have one caffeine coffee a day…
It’s been awful 😞.
