Restarting anxiety medications

Orangegnome

Hi have finally given in and restarted my medications for anxiety. This was two weeks ago after coming to the realisation that I couldn’t carry on as I was, everything was becoming difficult including leaving the house, driving, meeting a friend. So I’m back to trying to lower my daily stresses and reduce the amount of energy I use to exist. I’ve been on chat gpt to get some ideas but what does everyone else do to help keep themselves well?

  • I've recently come off the SSRI's, and have certainly noticed my being more sensitive and emotional. To be fair, I went on them mainly due to work stresses (which have now resolved as I have moved on), but also because my Dad was dying and my relationship at the time was not really the right fit for me.

    I'm going to try and hold out not being on them, but I would say that I felt better in my daily life, and found things easier to cope with, when I was taking them
