Anxiety turns to depression - progress?

[beanjack]

For two months after a breakup I experienced very strong anxiety. After four months it seems to be moving towards a greater percentage of time as depression. Is this progress?

Hi beanjack...we each handle breakups differently. Time being the essence of healing.

Anxiety can easily turn into depression as the loss goes on longer. Only you will

know when the pain no longer stops you from going forward. Medication and therapy

can help to a point but it will be you alone that will need to let go of the past and what might

have been. Losing your dream job certainly didn't help as well as the crisis we are all living

through. However bad life gets, we must always keep that glimmer of hope and belief that

things happen for a reason. And that reason isn't always a bad thing. xx
