Bit of a breakthrough, I think?

[ANXIETY26]

I mentioned in a previous post how Cipramil turned my life around and brought back a feeling that I had forgot existed. Well I came off Cipramil a few years ago and the feeling has never returned. I started Cipramil again but just could'nt get that feeling back. I then tried Effexor to no avail. (I stopped that about 6 months ago). I entered a post this morning saying that I was reluctant to take medication as I was starting to feel DIFFERENT every couple of days. No sure if it was a GOOD different just DIFFERENT. This is no word of a lie but the last hour or so this afternoon I have felt a bit of a Breakthrough I think? A sort of glimpse of that feeling has returned. (The feeling as If you've sort of been somewhere but have returned). The only thing is that I am anxious now because my mind is sort of taking me back to when I had this feeling before. (Which seems such a long time ago). I suppose I should be jumping with Joy but I am extremely anxious!!! Can anyone relate to this please?

Thanks

Of course you're anxious! You'v just had your first glimpse of recovery!!!! Thats excellent news. Try to relax and enjoy it. Deep breaths etc etc etc. Have a read through your book again - I haven't read that exact book but in the one I have it actually mentions about this strange feeling when you glimpse recovery. I had it last week and I actually got myself really worked up about it and started analysing everything (don't do that!! LOL).

You know that this is a bumpy road to recovery - you've done it before - so just take it one day at a time - very soon every couple of days will become every day!

I'm really pleased for you!

I can relate kinda, when i went to hypnotherapy for a while as soon as i relaxed i panicked!! But those windows of light will get longer!

when I originally posted this topic It was because I thought that I had a glimpse of recovery. Problem is is that I havent felt like that since. Will these feelings return again? I hope so!

I think they will and each time the gap of time should get longer..!
