Just need some moral support having a bad time...

[clc]

Having a bad few days and need some support. Been on cit over 2 weeks and still feel bad. Meant to be back at work tomorrow but not sure I can take it. My anxiety is at its worst and my thoughts are taking over. Any success stories or anything funny would cheer me up. Thanks xx

sorry Im not good at cheering up,but I can promise you the extra anxiety is side effects of the meds and doesnt last too long.
Anxiety in the first few weeks of meds usually gets worse then settles down.....give yourself more time.There's no way I could have worked for first 3/4 weeks
Im now in my 5th week and only just starting to feel a 'lift'
Be kind to yourself ,take some extra time off work if you can

also,the chat forum on here was a godsend for me during the first few weeks in my darkest hours.Mornings are rotten arent they?
here is my diary of my first weeks on Fluoxetine (all AD,s tend to have similar side effects)

I have read your diary before :) Mornings are definately the worst. Tomorrow I will have been a member 5 days do will be able to use the chat.

Unfortunately I've just bought a house and mortgage payments mean I need to work... Ive not taken more than 2 days off work in a row so it's hard. Xx

Oh sorry,......then you must work.Perhaps having a word with your boss (if you think he/she would understand) might make things easier on yourself.
Im on chat most days,so let me know how you get on x

Thank you both for the support. I had some day therapy today so I think I was stressing out about that as it was my first time! Feeling a bit better now :) Much of my day today wa about being positive which I am going to try and be.
