Re: Anxiety that is it....
It's so true....you think of something accompanied by anxious thoughts and it will happen. Ask yourself what will happen if you don't take your meds, you will probably feel worse.
you haven't really gone backwards, youve been traumatised by your stepdads death and you're working through grief. You would have to be superwoman to sail through this without ramping up your anxiety. Cut yourself some slack.
as to coping with it...well you just do. I've had it for 40 years and I'm still keeping on truckin. Some weeks are better than others. But every bad patch ends. You never think they will but they always do.
