Afraid of change

I won't lie, I've thought bout having myself admitted again. My anxiety feels out of control and keeps me from doing things. And my eating disorder resurfacing 😓. But i dont want to be added on any more meds i dont want side effects again. I just got over some after 3 long weeks. But i need help...they helped me with my eating last time. That's the main reason I'd be going, help for my eating disorder. Theyd probably up my dosage of celexa and i dont want it upped because I feel ok with where im at now on it. I just want to work with my eating problem. I hated being there though because i also felt kinda trapped in there in a way. They decide when you're ready to go. And to be honest, im not sure how long id have to stay this time. I just got out of the hospital beginning of last month.. Do i wait it out or just go seek more help? Ive never been good at asking for help..its always made me feel weak and I've always just been used to dealing with it on my own terms and struggling with it. No one ever seemed to care. So asking for help is weird and different and also kinda scary for me 😕

Never be afraid to ask people for help; actively avoiding help is pretty bad for most people, but it depends.

But yeah, do whatever you feel is necessary. If you feel like it's getting worse, then I'd consider getting it checked just in case. But again, it's always up to you to decide

If you do go and they want to up your Celexa and you don't want to then tell them. I don't think they can make you up your dose.

The doctors should ask you what you think about increasing/decreasing meds. Mine does. Like my fluoxtine, they wanted to increase it and I told them I think I was fine the way it is. They were happy to hear that news.

So yes tell them up front that you didnt it needs increasing. Hopefully they can figure out from there what to do. Good luck!!
