Struggling

[Mama_Bear_x2]

I need some help or words of wisdom or something. I have been having a rough couple of days. My meds have been changed, I don’t know if it’s side effects or adjusting or what but it’s awful. I feel out of it, depressed, anxious, overwhelmed and doomed. Like this will never lift or get better, like I’m stuck like this forever!! Anyone have advice?

I’m sorry you’ve had a rough couple of days. 😢 I have some of the same feelings today. These feelings have an end just like they have a beginning. Stay in touch with your doctor. ❤️

That’s a good way to look at it. I was doing really good and then all of a sudden it’s like i took 50 steps backwards. This is all so depressing.

You’re not alone! I was doing fine last July. By December I was moderate-severe on the depression scale. Yesterday was a good day for me. More good days are coming for you, too!

No its not forever. It will get better. You are going thru a chemical change to your system. The human body hates change! It will rebel. But hang on. Just keep telling yourself its just a temporary adjustment period that will be over soon. You are just beginning a new chapter in your life. Embrace what is to come as it will be better than what went before. I have faith in you. 🌻

Most of this is your physical body reacting to change.It is normal to feel all these disconcerting symptoms which are due to the chemical changes of the drugs and body's adaption to them.Meanwhile your mental responses are tricking you into thinking its a return to the hell you went through at the start of your original anxiety journey.

It isnt likely to be that....did you need to change your medication?

Speak to your Doctor if you are finding this too much.

You have to reassure yourself this will settle down....things will improve.

Research magnesium therapy, this will alleviate this cycle of panic and anxiety enough to allow you to work out a plan to rebalance your life.

I know what you are going through...my worse case was coming off 28 tablets a day to nothing and going through the same thoughts and feelings that my life was over ...well here i am 40 years later....drug free...never give up believing you will get well.

Thank you! My goal is to be off of everything one day.

Do this gradually....please try and research the following....A simple easy to understand book to help you learn how to live alongside anxiety was written by Dr Claire Weekes...."Self Help for your Nerves"

(Amazon/Ebay)

A Doctor who has realised the connection between low magnesium in our bodies and Anxiety/Depression....Dr Carolyn Dean...

Nearly every function in your body depends on magnesium so when you are out of sorts...the chances are high that you will be low on this mineral.

The following website is excellent at explaining why certain people get anxiety and how to begin turning things around...adaa.org

I wish you every success...this is fixable once you learn the bogeyman isnt very good at beating people who discover he is just a fake.
