    You're welcome, of course, and I know its get really hard sometime just to manage the basics. I have (somewhat) good days and (more) bad days as of late and I'm struggling myself if I'm being honest; but thank you for asking. We're here for you and you're not alone.

    Please don't feel a failure. It's exhausting trying to pretend you're ok but most of us do it endlessly.

    My advice would be to stick with your current dosage of paroxetine and not change meds. You need to work towards some stability and not put pressure on yourself with all the anxiety a med change can bring? You need to accept that you are going through a blip and that this is ok. It happens..especially with anxiety and OCD. The fact that paroxetine has worked so well for you is a real bonus but you don't need to depend on a med to feel safe. You'll get through this but don't do yourself down because that won't help at all.

    Thanks for your kind words. I'm doubting it does work now. But I guess I'm doubting everything. 😞

    Sorry to hear you're struggling. I hope the good days become more ��
