Hi,
I'm Jue, I have had anxiety about most things since I was a teenager, I am now 40. I had a particularly bad episode of anxiety and depression around 6 years ago when I was off work for a year and left for a less stressful job. I have been taking fluoxetine ever since and although I have constantly had a low level of anxiety I have coped. My mum died suddenly in January and I have been a mess ever since, I am still of work. Work have just announced loads of redundancies and I am at risk and will have to re-interview for my job on a lower grade with different duties.
Since then I have fallen to pieces, I have lost my appetite and my anxiety as totally ramped up. I am due to go back to work tomorrow but am not sure i can physically walk into the office.
I am not sure the fluoxetine is working anymore and the depression is back.
Thanks for reading
Jue

Hi and :welcome:

Sorry to hear of the loss of your mum. It`s difficult when we lose a parent, no matter what their age. It`s really early days and you are still grieving. Go back and tell you doc how you feel.
