Dealing with daily anxiety

Mental health
1

So this is my first ever post - im hoping to find some comfort in others. Ive had anxiety for 3 years now and although its had its real bad patches, ive been on top of it for months now. The cause of it is unknown, ive had counselling and am on Sertraline but it dosent help your brain stop thinking!

Recently its all come to surface again after myself, son and husband went on holiday to spain and i had major anxiety and panic attack which was so bad we had to fly home after 48 hours! Felt awful for them both but had to get home. And it cleared. But since then, it feels like ive opened up an old wound and every now and then i get a 'pang' of anxiety hit me over nothing at all.

Needless to say im never going on holiday abroad again!! lol. But i need some advice on how to deal with everyday life anxiety pangs

THanks guys

Hi Donna, sorry to hear your holiday was interrupted. How have you been on Sertraline?

Yeah ive been on it for 3 years now. I came off after a year and felt ok, but then it all came back so went back on 100mg dose. It take alot of getting use to with the side effects but i do feel they work for me. The dr has just increased me to 150mg while i dela with this recent episode

Hi Donna, maybe their working too well. See how you get on with the higher dose. Good luck
