I went on holiday for four days, to the seaside. The night I got back, I was watching a film when I went into an anxiety attack. I was heart broken as I had a breakdown 4 years ago and came off sertraline over a year ago, I couldn't believe I had another attack.
Over the next two days, I woke up with anxiety, and had hour long crying sessions. Spoke to my doctor who suggested I had food poisoning and explained there is a link between digestive problems sparking anxiety, not the other way round as is commonly believed.
Well I didn't believe him and resigned myself to probably having a relapse and go back on sertraline, but today I've been unable to stay out of the bathroom and it seems my doctor may be correct.
I'm hoping once I am better the anxiety will naturally subside, I am nervous though, that now I'm aware of it again, it will hang about like a bad smell. Anyone else have experience of this and did anxiety go away once better?
