Hi Sharon

You need to find yourself some things to do during the day, even if at first you really don't want to do them. It's about getting yourself back into a way of life that "normal for you". It sounds to me as though you're better when you have got some company, as obviously that distracts you from how you are feeling.

Also, try and find people to spend time with during the day, and also exercise really helps with anxiety, even if it's only walking. The hormones you produce during exercise help to damp down the anxiety.

Which meds are you on?

Im on Prozac 20 mg
Ive been trying to get out but yesterday i didnt leave the house and this morning all ive done is cry. and i just want to curl up in a ball.
I dont even think i will be well enough to go back to work on monday, i feel so crap.

Sorry to go on. xxx

The reason you feel different in the evening is because you "think" differently. Your partner is with you and you feel more secure and hopeful. During the day, alone, you have time to think anxious thoughts and to really wind yourself up, especially about work. Keep yourself busy during the day, no matter how hard it is the muster up enthusiasm. Try and carryon on with a busy, normal routine. Occupation definitely helps recovery. I feel for you because I know what it's like to be in the thick of anxiety, but you will get through this. Keeping busy, letting time pass and just accepting how you feel for the moment will eventually bring peace.:hugs:
