Hi fellow anxiety warriors!
So I just thought I should do a quick post to say - after about 3 months on 10mg and 2 1/2 months on 20mg I'm finally feeling better!!!!
I can go to the shops without feeling panicked, I can speak to people without feeling like I'm going to faint, I can sleep, I can FUNCTION!!!
Holy sh*t it was a rough ride but I just want to say to anyone struggling- do NOT give up. 2nd time on cit and it was so much harder... and took me 3 times as long to feel anything. But I am so happy I stuck with it!
Obvs there is still down days- but that's human emotion. Some derealisation still but mainly if I'm tired, laugh too much (not a bad thing!) or around people I don't know well.
Genuinely never coming off (at least not until I'm 100% better- which I'm accepting could take years)
Hope you're all doing well- and pleeeease trust me when I say it does get easier!! :hugs:
