My anxiety is crippling me, ive been off medication for about six months, following about three years on citalopram.
Life is stressful, but its not as bad as it is for some - my anxiety is preventing me from dealing with it, its preventing me from dealing with anything. Its like i am in a constant state for "flight or fright" even when there isn't a problem right now.
Sometimes i just sit here and do nothing and hours will have passed. Im not depressed, just anxious.
The thing is, i dont want to be zombiefied again, i didnt think i was, but dp says i was - but now he is telling me to go back to the doctors again.
To be honest, the anxiety is sucking all the joy out of my life. I have problems yes, but doesn't everyone but i just elevate them to catastrophe and now sit and fret in case anything happens :(
My daughter deserves a functioning mother but i am not sure that medication is going to work for me. Ive just started doing some volunteer work in my old job, its good to get out of the house, but then i fret because im not earning any money but i am trying to keep going with this because i want to make myself more employable.

AIBU?
to think that going back onto anti-depressants could be a positive thing.
