Hi CLKD, yes, I was able to manage anxiety symptoms so much better when I was on Escitilopram. I haven't found anything else that matches that so I take a very low dose of diazepam if the anxiety is crippling (I try and ride through it at work though). Thank you for the suggestion about the charity shops - I really enjoyed volunteering in a charity shop last year. There are quite a few in town so I could ask around. It is a pity that I cannot stay where I am in another position but it doesn't appear that anything is available.
The reason I want to pass that exam so much is that most schools now want GCSE Maths & English grades A-C as a TA requirement & I do not have the Maths at grade C. My indecisiveness has made things so much harder with regards to employment as I could have been working in a permanent TA job from last September (the Head was not worried about the Maths grade) but my anxiety messed up a fantastic opportunity. The anxiety definitely seems to be a very common symptom amongst us all on here. Maybe it is time for a rethink (again) but I know I must not rush into anything like I did last year. Thank goodness that this forum exists & we can all support each other. X
