Hello :-)

This is quite normal , you are taking medication which is starting to help you but when we suffer with anxiety it is there in the background trying to find a way to get back in again and those thoughts which has created the fear in you is exactly what it does

But think positive , easier said than done sometimes but this is still early days of feeling less anxious so tell yourself it is quite normal to have these moments but that will pass and as you realise that they do the fear will get less along with the anxiety

If you feel you want to cry then it is ok , sometimes this is a way in which we relieve all the tension don't see the emotions you feel as negatives but you bodies way of coping with everything it has been going through

The medication seems to be working really well and with these meds it takes about 3 months to start working but even longer to get the full effect from them so bear that in mind to that they are just starting to help you and as you are on them longer they will help even more :-)

I hope you have a lovely Christmas and well done coming this far and tell yourself the best is still yet to come and I hope 2018 brings is when that happens for you :-)

Take Care x

I get this a lot.This is a horrid part of anxiety, the feeling that it's somehow teasing you with happiness, ready to rip it away. Remember nothing you think has an effect on real life, whether you worry about something or not doesn't make it more likely to happen, or less likely to happen. Glad you're feeling better and taking the meds. Just keep going. :-)
