Hello I have general anxiety disorder I've bin in 30ml of fluoxetine since 23rd may.. well I started feeling myself and being able to have a laugh and manage to go out but only when I'm with someone.. for the past week now I have started feeling the worse anxiousness and waking up in mornings anxious I feel like I'm never gonna get better.. I was told by my psychiatric not to up my dose from 2.5ml to 5ml straight away I have to build it up as I do have bad side effects which makes me feel awful.. I don't even know why I'm feeling anxious all the time
There's always an underlying reason for the anxiety. Have you talk to your psychiatrist about this? Has he or she given you any ideas of what you can do besides taking the medication? If not, sometimes the best person to talk to is A counselor who specializes in anxiety. That has helped me a lot.
Also, have you tried listening to the guided meditations for anxiety on YouTube? Those are awesome and completely calm me down. I do them a couple times a day. YouTube also has a great "mindful five minute breathing meditation". This is great because you do this at the very onset of anxiety or negative thinking.
A lot of people feel more anxiety in the morning for some reason. That's when I listen to one of the meditations right away. Try not to react with fear when you are feeling anxious because that will bring on more anxiety. Try to stay calm and tell yourself that yes, I'm feeling anxious but I can handle this.
hope you feel better soon 🌸🌸🌸
There is an excellent book if you can get it called mindfulness. It teaches you how to regain your peace of mind and deal with all of this. It's a white book with a picture of what looks like a ball of tangled strings together.
