Days I do feel better ...
I know how that feels I feel in the house yesterday and bumped my head my knees were killing me it must have been about 1 hour I was on the floor now I'm using my tripod to go around the house
It takes awhile for your mind to stop thinking negative it's what is use too I was like that in the beginning been on lexapro for almost 10 years and has gotten so much better I still get episodes where I'm down for a couple of months than get better hang in there and have hope
I know exactly what you're saying. We get soooo used to feeling and being unwell that we don't know how to be or feel anything else.
You need to now re-program your thinking and revel in the fact that you're feeling better. Under NO circumstances must you "want" your panic to return 😨That thought defeats the purpose of taking meds. Accept the healthier you and start planning for a happier life. Get busy and start doing stuff. Focus on your day and not how you're feeling.
You and you alone can control your mind and thoughts. Don't let your mind control you. When the thoughts come just let them pass. Don't dwell on them. You can also try just saying STOP with firmness and conviction. Anxiety is a little like talking to a naughty child ☺
