Prior to this episode of depression, I was experiencing lots of anxiety. The depression appears to have eased off after being almost 3 months on antidepressants (Cipralex), but now the anxiety is intensely at the forefront of my mind and I cannot stop worrying over minor trivial things...my therapist suggested I am focusing on trivia to prevent my brain from thinking about deeper things, such as feelings of worthlessness, etc, but that I would have to confront these feelings and deep rooted core beliefs in order to move on and prevent me falling back into depression again...I am so scared of being on a permanent loop of anxiety, depression, anxiety, depression without a chance of peace of mind or respite from it all. It's a living nightmare with seemingly no chance of escape.
