Hi everyone, thanks for the lovely welcome

I think I'm probably worrying about taking the meds so much that I'm causing myself to feel worse than I really do. I think it's also made worse that the nurse didn't really tell me anything about them or discuss side effects or dosage with me, so as soon as I picked them up I immediately googled and found all these horror stories!

I spent most of yesterday feeling sick and I've had a mega headache since last night, but I'm sure they can both be explained by the fact I've barely eaten for a few weeks and am worrying like mad.

It's lovely to speak with people who get it - the only person who knows about this is my partner, although that's very rocky at the moment so we're not even speaking a great deal. I wouldn't even know how to begin talking to my family about it and I don't really see close friends enough to bring this up with them.

Do people generally find that meds work better than talking therapies or vice versa, or a mixture of both? Is it usual to do both at the same time?
