Anxious all day, anybodynelse like this?

[strat61]

Hi all, I'm new here first time today. I took ealy retirement in april started to get anxiouys then depressed,went to the docs & answered all the questions & was pronounced severly depressed In July! Any way have been on citalopram 30mg since july,had three yes THREE cbt sessions the counsellor said I was almost back to normal so no more sessions. Well I wasn't back to my normal self,I play in a 60s band & have done for ten years as for being back to normal I didnt touch my guitar or do anything with the band for three months,although I am playing with the band now.
Last month I had two sessions of hynotherapy from which I dont think that I have benefitted.When I wake up in the morning I have a little wobble of panic which then leaves me feeling anxious all day. my questions are does anybody else get this, & has hypnotherapy worked for anyone. Cheers for now

Welcome to the forum.

I certainly have anxiety all day every day, but it spikes at times in response to the slightest stress.

Lack of sleep makes me 10 times worse.

As for hypnotherapy, I had one session and I hated it, made things worse if anything, but that's just my own personal experience.

I share your daily anxiety, it's getting me down as well so you are not alone there.

Hypnotherapy didn't work for me, but it is worth a try as we all respond differently.

Good luck.
