Hi Everyone
Well things are improving everday for me, since my bad patch of extreme anxiety, back at work for 5 weeks, even doing more hours, back socialising at last!, eating normal, sleeping normal (fingers crossed!) still low moods and tears here and there, but nothing like before.
What i want to ask is, does the fear of it coming back ever leave you? i have suffered anxiety before about 5 years ago, put on sertraline, 50mg and was well for about 4 years, till my panic attack a few months, when things spiralled, to the point of i thought i would never be able to do or cope wiht anything again, increased sertraline to 100mg horrendous, didnt suit me at all, totally traumatised by it, reduced back down about 9 weeks ago and as i have said i am getting there.. but every now and again throughout the day, a little flutter of fear washes over me that it will come back, or the memories of when it was really bad pop into my head, its like i could be busy at work engrossed it what i am doing, when suddenly out of the blue, a though will pop into my head, saying hang on it might come back, or omg it was really bad. Does this ever go?? i know logically it does, it has done before, just looking for reassurance really and if andybody else has had this? thanks for reading xxx
