Hi guys I've not been here for a while, hope everyone is as well as they can be!
I'm doing what seems to be my yearly cycle, I'm fine for a few months, start getting my fears and phobias creeping in and end up flat on my face taking medication. Does anyone else cycle with meds? I'm a Pure O with Iophobia and Health Anxiety, it sadly defines my life (or I let it do so)
I don't like taking Sertraline (the only eddective treatment I've been prescribed) as I don't like the side effects, I just do my time with them for a few months of the year as respite from my intrusive thoughts and anxiety.
I'm presently stuck with a decision to ride out a spike and hope I can get a grip on life or get back on Sertraline and try to work it through.
I guess I'm just throwing my thoughts out to you as I know someone will understand here.
Much Love,
Alex
