good to hear from you joannap - i guess in my heart of hearts I know its situational rather than likely related to dose meds. It just waves of anxiety and feeling tearful that remind me of how unwell I was.
Piggly - if I'm honest the first two months were not good on cipralex every side effect I had and the increase in anxiety was unbearable at times, but with support from people on here and sheer perseverance I stayed on the meds including numerous phonecalls and trips to GP for reassurance. Like you are feeling, every task was difficult but do keep going. I'm an occupational therapist and know the importance of maintaining habits and activities of daily living!!! maybe make a schedule of what you plan to do each day hour to hour and include resting/relaxation. live in the moment.
That dreaded feeling of having to get up and manage the day. I used to count down the hours till going to bed hoping that I might feel better the next day.
I can empathise with you.
