Anxiety coming back

[Cr10]

Hello everyone starting monday i started feeling better. My anxiety was almost gone for like 2 days but all of the sudden i feel super anxious and super horrible again 😧😥 what is going on? Its so weird that i felt so good and no im feeling even worst than before. It just makes me feel like im never going to get better again :((

Hi Cr10, you will feel better again one day as soon as you can figure out what prompts your anxiety to stay afloat. As long as the root problem is not addressed, the anxiety stays lit like a pilot light waiting for the next stressor to come along. Job, school, relationships, family, health are all issues which can bring the anxiety into play again. What might have been different about those 2 days where your anxiety was almost gone? For me, anxiety is about finding the triggers which make it flare up either by thoughts or actions.

Thank you for the comments. Well for me all started like a month and a half ago i just had a panic attack all of the sudden and since that happened everything just got worst i started being really anxious and i couldnt eat or get up for like a week. So the doctor prescribed zoloft 25mg and lorazepam 1g. I was taking lexapro 10mg before this because i suffered from anxiety and panic attacks 4 years ago and now it came back and harder. It has been really rough there are days were i cant handle it and i just want to pass out that way i dont have to deal with all the anxiety. The weird thing is that i was feeling better day by day but sometimes i go back to feeling horrible and honestly idk wat triggers it i try to be positive all day but the funny thing is that when i feel bad it starts since i wake up i feel super anxious and my stomach hurts and thats how my day continous. I just dont understand its taking to long already ive been thru this 3 times already when i was like 12, 16, 19, and it only lasted like a month then i would start feeling normal. Do you think it can be the medication??? The last 3 times i took lexapro and that helped me but this time my doctor said that since im 23 i can take something stronger but i need to get better soon i havent been working for a month already and i have alot of bills to pay and idk what to do this is really awful. When i start feeling good then i feel bad again idk what to do anymore. Any suggestions??

It could always be the medication. I know I couldn't handle Zoloft but was put on Lexapro and doing well on that. There must have been a reason your doctor decided to make the change. You really need to discuss this with him, not feeling better and being off work a month, I agree something needs to change.
