Unexpectedly down

For a long time my anxiety and depression have been nearly dormant and easily maintained. For some reason starting yesterday I am really emotional and anxious. I'm not willing to leave the house to do my usual activities. I've been crying and feeling helpless after being legitimately happy for several months. My Tardive Dyskinesia symptoms are worse than normal which is getting me really frustrated. My plan with this site (while I was doing well) was to be a positive support person for others, but now I need to post so all of this is not stuck or taking over my head all day. I know It'll help because the people on this site are noticably awesome.

Hello 1947treble. I am sorry to hear you are feeling anxious. I think with things such as anxiety they can come and go. I am sorry you are struggling with it right now. Can you think of anything that may have triggered it? That may help if you understand why it is back. Please do not worry about only supporting others on here. You are brave to post about how you are feeling.

Thank you, that helps. I have tardive dyskinesia and it's not being treated very well (my doctor isn't doing much to help me) That's not the entire reason I've been having such a bad time but I'm sure it's atleast a significant factor. I've gone through bad stretches of this for no reason before too though.

I am sorry to hear that you are suffering. This road we travel is so difficult. Having TD must be so hard and that alone would cause distress. I wish I knew what to say to help. Call your dr and tell him that you need help ...it’s his job to help you. Sending you a hug.❤️

You did help just by responding and understanding. The TD can be a lot to deal with.The Dr isn't bad, he just keeps giving me really low doses and expecting it to do more. It's a new Dr so he doesn't realize how severe my symptoms get.
