Anxiety relapse

[AnaIM84]

For the past month or so I’ve been experiencing intrusive thoughts of something horrible happening. On Friday I had my first anxiety attack in over a year or so. I took my rescue medicine and it did help but I felt deflated. I feel so disappointed like I failed

Thank you for sharing. I am sorry you had an anxiety attack. You did the right thing by starting back your medication, especially since it helped. Anxiety is a chemical imbalance that can happen in our brains and medication is what helps bring back the balance. It is not something you should look down on yourself for doing. I have been through a similar situation where I didn't struggle for years and then something happens and I have an attack and find medication helps. Also, being aware of my circumstances at the time I struggled. I keep a journal or log of what was the situation before I began to feel bad. My struggling seems to happen around my time of the month so I know it is related to hormones and a chemical imbalance. I will keep you in my prayers.

Do you go to counseling? Counseling also helps us dig deeper to helps us not struggle so often or so deeply.

Hugs and God Bless

Thank you for your kind words. I go to therapy but I found my last therapist not helping so I’m actually going to a new one on Thursday. Thank you for your prayers!
