I’ve been taking antidepressants for about three months they do seem to give me more energy and no negative side effects. But even still I called off work at the last minute twice. And I’m just completely overwhelmed internally and externally.
It’s not lost on me that my generalized anxiety as made it impossible to form meaningful relationships. I just feel like the quality of my relationships are so low and some of my worst relationships are with family. But I just don’t have anywhere to go. Every little thing triggers my anxiety and I’m kind of just spiraling and a little ruminating.

I'm so sorry NylaCAT. I hope that you were able to relax on those days and realize that you were giving yourself something that you needed. Is most of your anxiety centered around work? Are you going to therapy as well as taking the meds?
A lot of my anxiety comes from "failing" in something, whether it be performing at work or missing a workout or, heaven forbid, eating something "bad". I have had it bad enough that I didn't shower for days because the thought of it gave me anxiety, something about shouldering life again or something. Anyway, you are not alone. You can make it through this. I always recommend Dr David Burns and his book Feeling Great, there is also the Feeling Good podcast. Many here like Claire Weeks work about sitting in the anxiety, accepting it, letting it wash over you, and pass over. Also, I am currently working on being nice to myself, may you be nice to yourself. ☮️
