Suffering from anxiety and depression as some of you will know just need a bit of reassurance today.Got up this morning super anxious when i feel that i dont need to be,when suffering from anxiety is our brain in anxious mode all the time even when it doesnt need to be? I have no reason to be anxious this morning.
Hi. I was doing really well.and I woke up this morning really anxious too. I have stress IBS which started first thing so then the anxiety came on. I was just listening to a self help audio from the nhs about anxiety and it says we sometimes are predict we will feel anxious especially if we are naturally an anxious person. Its frustrating especiallt when there is no realr3ason to feel anxious. Im not surprised i am feeling this way but it makes you feel down and hence more anxious. I think it's about how we react to the anxiety. I can give you the link if you want. Lots of self help guides for a variety of things. It was relaxing listening to It too. I think my brain is on anxious and panic mode all the time. I sometimes think it but the meds stop the physical feelings most of the time....apart from the nervous stomach!
Hi its so confusing isnt it! There is no reason whatsoever for me to be anxious today iv nothing to do im under no pressure yet there it is still its pretty tiring isnt it? I honestly think our anxious brains are just anxious whether they need to be or not! Hopefully it will settle down soon and iv not reached 4 weeks yet on the meds 😔 the link would be really useful yes thank you xx
Www.ntw.nhs/pic/self help.
Yes 4 weeks is early days. I just increased my dose today to 40mg. I am so much better so having a bad day today has come as a shock. Its really annoyed me too. I was going to go back to bed and sleep but decided it's not going to beat me and get up.and do normal stuff. X
Yeah still early days for me and it might be that the Sertraline is still making my anxiety worse it takes a while to settle doesnt it still pretty annoying tho as you say also i think im worse in a morning thinking hmmm whats today going to bring which is pretty silly really cos it'll more or less be the same as yesterday 😔thank you for the link il give it a bash later xxx
