I know how you feel... I'm currently in the same place but I take it day by day and it's so worth it for those days that I feel great! We have to keep looking forward because if we dwell on the past it will only repeat itself. We are all pulling for you and in this together! You should join me in reading panic to power by Lucinda bassett, I just bought it. Keep on keeping on! Your in mu prayers :)

Ok you know you cam change your negative thoughts you did it for 2 weeks so you know your getting better, it is just a little setback. Do you take any meds?

Hibgurl,

I am sorry that you are feeling anxious again. As you can see, you are not alone...I experience it in cycles as well. Whether it is the body/mind's natural cycle, or a hormonal one...anxiety seems to come in patterns.

It is true what Rach and Barbz said...keep pressing forward...you did have success before and you can find that good place again. This will not last, and you will be feeling better like before.

Keep using your coping techniques when the anxiety and symptoms start up, they will help! This is just a little detour along the way to healing, so hang in there.:)

Keep posting,

S.C.

thanks so much for your positive help. I am taking citlopram for my depression but am on nothing for my anxiety because i have anxiety all of the time like maybe ill be feeling dizzy and have a dry mouth then in 10 mins ill be feeling shakey and hot and so on... most anxiety meds that i have heard of are for short fixes like if your about to have a panic attack so yea i dont know. Im finding it very hard to work :(

Hi

Sorry to here your anxiety is coming back I know how you feel and agree with the others that anxiety seems to come and go which is hard to deal with and can be very depressing.

The citalopram is dual acting and will help with your depression and anxiety. It is one of the better ssri's in my opinion and can take between 6-8 weeks before the full effects can be felt. As SC mentioned use your coping techniques and now you will get through this and we are here to help you through so let us know how you are getting on with things.

Have you ever looked into doing therapy?? there are lots of different choices which can help you with anxiety such as CBT. I have done various types of therapy including CBT. CAT, group therapy and I am due to start a mindfulness course in June which will be 8 weeks long and is all about learning to stay in the moment.

Hey there, I am here to tell you that you can make it through no matter how tough it gets.  I have been in a bad place since the end of December and today is a day that is feeling better for me.  I have anxiety and depression and the past 3 months my only times out of the house have been my many visits to my Drs. I have found that I keep asking for what I need - help !  It has been a long 3 months but I have been through this before I  will make it through again.

Anxiety is driven by anticipation.  Try to stay in the moment and take things one at a time.  Don't overwhelm yourself when the "what ifs?" pop up.  Try not to fight the feelings that come along with anxiety.  They will only pull you deeper into the dark state where they lie.

We are here for you.

Kindly,

Kitt

Right on, Kitt! The "what ifs" are the killer...I know thinking positive doesn't always work or help, so try and ride this bad time out. It will pass. If you feel like it's not dissipating, maybe try something new...therapy, self help books or websites...thTs what I needed to do, and now I'm coming out of an extremely rough time I was having. And try and remember the adjustment time with the meds. Hang in there! You can do it!!
