Thanks guys!
My appt went REALLY well! I am even more confident now that I will beat this,.. and become a better person for the experience!
Having accupuncture twice a week for next 2 weeks while I wean off the Oxazepam. Did a full health assessment today. Thinks a lot of my problem is hormonal.
Have some natural remedies to take, as well as fish oil. Changes in my diet to make. Not radical ones thank goodness, mostly just stuff I should be doing anyway- no junk, choc etc etc. Off to the supermarket now!

I'd love to know how this goes and will be following with interest Kels, sounds all good!
Maybe OT, but i tend to find that drinking coke makes anxiety worse and recently read something actually stating that too so was interesting. So i guess eating well kinda makes sense really instead of putting all the bollocks into your system.

Thnaks everyone. Yeah Janine, Im sure improving my diet will definatly help. Cos my engery levels were low I have been drinking heaps of dietcoke and having lots of choc and junk,..but really that just makes my body even worse,..needing more water etc to battle of the toxins Ive been feeding it.
Im feeling really positive that Im in control of me, that I can beat this!
Did a big healthy grocery shop last night,..poor DH thinks his throats been cut (his words!).
Off for accupuncture this afternoon!

I am pleased you are feeling positive!
I loved accupuncture before I had T, it is nice to know it has many more means.
I always find Chocolate isn't the answer and an improvement in diet does so many wonders. I hope today;s session went well :)

Went to a PND support group run by plunket today too, for the first time. There wasnt anything avialable where we used to live. It was ok, but only one other person there. Its only once a month too.

Im ok thanks. Had a bit of a blahk day yesterday, but I had them when I was on meds too,...but they are much less often at the moment!
Im down to 1/4 of a tab morning and night now of my valium type anxiety meds, and will hopefully be off them altogether in the last week.
Have had 2 sessions of accupuncture so far, focussing on depression, insomnia and metobolism. Havent noticed any difference with my sleep,...but Im no longer constipated (long standing problem) so yay! The sleep preoblem is affected by still having to get up to Isla about twice a nigh too, so I didnt expect miracles with that!
Diet gone a wee bit out the window already. I will go food shopping again tomorrow and get back on track. Been mostly avoiding junk, definalty have eaten way less choc than I usually would, and still no coke! So its not all bad!
Still have un-resolved issues with my parents that I need to deal with, but dont feel strong enough just yet.
