hi im new to these forums,basically for a year i have suffered with bad anxiety causing a problem with what my doctor thinks is an obsesional disorder.
since the anxiety started i have had a problem with needing the toilet(sorry tmi) i find it hard to go anywhere without stopping for the toilet,it is stopping me going out for family walks with the dog etc and is causing me alot of stress.I find myself worrying about journeys that are months away incase i need the loo and there is nowhere to go.We are going abroad in november and the worry of the seatbelt signs coming on is stressing me out already which makes the problem worse at the moment.The doctor gave me valium last year and has referred me for cbt.
does anyone else suffer with anxiety?and do you feel like it takes over your life? i feel stupid but i cant drive the 15 min journey to work without panicing,it really effects my day to day life :-(
