Any advice

I've been struggling with Anxiety and depression.

I have tried various different Shari's.

My new Psychiatrist want's to wean me off Sertraline and introduce Paroxetine. Had anyone got any advice on this Paroxetine.

My anxiety is through the roof and I think I may be peri menopausal!

I've been on Estrogel since August 2020 and also take Utrogestan 200mg from day 14-28 . I sleep a lot better when taking the Utrogestan (Progesterone).

I am having great difficulty with my anxiety and I get really anxious before my therapy appointments. The therapy itself is needed and challenging.

A lot of the time I feel inferior and worthless in my life... Not good enough.

The Psychiatrist told me yesterday that I "project" on to him and probably/most likely onto others.

I need a lot of reassurance from my therapist as I don't want to fail and get things wrong. I'm a perfectionist.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Hello :-)

I think most will relate to how you feel

We seek out therapists to help change this

So when they make a suggestion it can seem daunting but we have to trust them as that results in a good outcome so maybe give those meds a go you have nothing to loose 🤞

Take Care x
