hi maria i am exactly the same i have been feeling like it for the last 5 days just turning the corner again i think . Just hang on in there it is just a blip easier said than done though i know but it does pass
hi thank you for replying just gutted as i have been doing so well right up until now just feeling so low and fed up guess it could be the january blues i hope xx
i think it is i think it doesnt help when we automatically think oh my god im going back to how i was but thats not the case . We just have to ride it out but try and keep saying it is nowhere as bad as it was to begin with
Hi MAR IA
Try not to be too despondent. This illness has its highs and lows for a long long long time!
ACCEPT your feelings and know that they will pass and you will feel better again. This just a blip nothing more. TRY to distract yourself.
Ive been anxiety free for years but still feel a bit ordinary today. I am taking down the Christmas decorations while its not too hot (I live in AUSTRALIA)
JUST keep busy and keep thinking it will pass.
Hi Maria,as someone has said through the times you are taken ,just by taken daily ,but not at the same times can give you some unwanted side effects.I know from experience what that can do as i have been taken 20 mgs citrolopram and this week i also had them different times and i have got unwanted side effect
First of all, don’t panic!
Second, did you drink much alcohol over Christmas ie more than usual? Can temporarily lower the effectiveness of the meds.
Third, rich and sugary Christmas food can play havoc with blood sugar levels, which can affect your mood, once you get back into a healthy eating routine it really helps.
And finally, it’s been a really dark, gloomy December. The daylight is less, and we’ve hardly actually seen the sun. I’ve used a lightbox for 25 mins a day the last 5 days, and it has made a big difference. I had also dipped over December, and now am feeling better again.
Most importantly though, you’re not going back to square one, just having a dip, which with some time and adjustments, will correct itself 
hi thank you everyone for all your advise feeling better today i think it was alot to do with christmas and new year and now getting back to normal again and trying to do dry jan to ps not that i drink loads but trying to loose weight to xx
