Hi everyone
I've been experiencing a big increase in my anxiety over the past few months. I decided to take the past week off work on leave so I could allow myself to rest and make sense of this surge in anxious feelings.
Unfortunately the week off led me to ruminating over negative thoughts and actually I left the house very few times. I ended up not sleeping very well at night and instead found myself either taking anti-histamines to get to sleep or sleeping during the day. And ended up spending a lot of time under the duvet and not eating very much.
Tomorrow, Monday, i'm due to go back to work. And i'm really worried about it. I have a burning mouth symptom which is really upsetting me and have convinced myself that I won't be able to cope with it. And i'm worried about not being able to cope on little sleep when i return to work.
I'm currently on day 12 of setraline and i'm not sure it is making a difference yet. I'm not really sure what advice i'm looking for but just feels therapeutic to get this down in writing.
Thanks for listening
Conor
