Most definitely πππ
I hope so. I'm lost. I'm 8 days in on Citalopram and I am scared. I dont know what is ahead of me. Will I ever feel like me again? Depression and anxiety is horrible. I'm incredible anxious. I'm upset that I have to rely on a pill to make me feel like me. I don't know what my future looks like. I have trust issues. How do I trust this process? Please help me. I would really appreciate it. Thank you
Hi there! The lifting of your depression temporarily is probably a glimpse of how youβll feel once the meds kick in! You feel panicked probably because of your anxiety - overthinking is what we do!! As previous members have said, I agree you need real commitment to get through the first couple of weeks. For me (Iβm on escitalopram) I had a rough time between days 4 - 9, and would have definitely given up had it not been for the support I got from this group. It took me (and everyone has different stories) a good 6 weeks until I could honestly say I started feeling properly better than before and now, at 4 months, Iβm like a new person! Sleeping well, totally levelled out and the excess worrying and that heavy feeling lifted completely. I donβt think the professionals necessarily understand how rough you feel to begin with and help you understand that it will take a good amount of time before you get to how you should. How you feel now is not going to the final result. Keep plodding on, day by day and look forward to feeling better! π
S.l.f.
I need some advice.
I dont know what feeling not depressed, anxious, stressed, irritated feels like. I am scared to feel this in between emotions. Is this normal?
Hi there. I thought Iβd responded earlier but seem not to have pressed βsendβ. I think you will initially get little flashes of βnormalβ. Gradually these will become more frequent. You need to go with the flow. Accept how you are feeling and donβt analyse. Although I have a couple of irritating side effects (jaw clenching, skin irritation) the benefits outweigh these and I wouldnβt want to go back to how I was. You will need to instigate your recovery in terms of booking regular medical reviews. Just having appointments booked makes me feel more comfortable. I am sure you can recover, even after many years. I reckon I was unwell for 40 years so feeling stressed, anxious and down was my normal. But Iβm all good now! π

Hi there π ... Honestly, I don't know all about the medication process of that side.. because I don't take anything for it. So I don't really have any knowledge on that subject...I just try to get through. I haven't been to a doctor for it. I guess I just try to get by with talking to a friend or coming on here.. and my Faith has definitely played a HUGE part of this whole thing... I just try to press through.. I believe there is light to come. Whenever Iβm at a dark moment, I just try to think of something good that is in the present or that will soon comeβ¦ I try to think that things could be worse but there're not. And as far as my anxiety goes , I mostly experience it when I go to work because I work in retail and thereβs so many people coming through in & out all day. It makes me anxious for some reason .. almost feel like I cant breathe at times, chest gets tight. But I just breathe deeply , take breathes , stay to myself for a little to calm down , tell myself everything is going to be okay and ask my Heavenly Father to help me get through. I pray you will get through all that you are going through... You are going to be okay πππ
Thanks, I'm trying, but it's a daily uphill fight.
Just keep fighting!! .. your battle is not over yet!.. you can do this π₯π₯ππͺ yes it is daily but don't give up.. depression and anxiety will not win, so don't let it. There are days I feel like life has just sat down on my shoulders and black clouds over my head but I choose to find light , I choose to keep going , I choose to find something to fight for.. you will get through this ππ it's so hard at times seems like I lost but there's always a new day and I will try again and again ..
Thank you for your support, it is much needed. Today wasn't a good day, I'm depressed about my diabetes, just so complicated, don't know if I can do this. Doctors don't seem to care and are not consistent on what to do about it?
WE CAN DO IT
Hi everyone. We will get through this. Together
