So I’ve been anxious again for about 2 weeks, i get over stressed and then past memory’s bring me back - so I am basically anxious about being anxious....
I started taking cit 5mg for 10 days and the past few days on 7.5mg.
I’m sensitive to ssri medication and get bad side effects- but I no they work very well (this is my 3rd and last time - as I won’t be coming off these tablets again)
So I’m starting low and will gradually work my way up to 20mg. This may take me a few weeks... but that’s ok I’ll get there.
So basically I thought today ..... I’m feeling pretty crap, getting side effects and the tablets are basically doing nothing at all yet since I’m on such a low dose , and this is me coping all on my own with the added anxiety and side effects.
And in hindsight that’s bloody amazing- and I should give myself a pat on the back and a high five
Yes I’m feeling poop but I’m doing as claire weekes says - just let more time pass.
So to everyone who is just starting out - we are in the same boat and it’s awful at times (most of the time at the moment) but we are staying strong and keeping on going. And that in itself is pretty damn amazing.
Anxiety is an illness and it’s an awful illness- but we are taking the medication to help us get through this and get through it we all will. (I’ve done it twice before)
So well done everyone- keep going day by day - we are all doing the best we can and that’s awesome
