Recovery from anxiety

For the last 2 months I've suffered with anxiety, to the point where normal day to day tasks were hard and if I didnt have to work or function for my children I probably would've stayed in bed allday feeling much worse. Luckily I feel in the last week I've turned a corner and can see a huge difference in myself. The physical symptoms of anxiety have thankfully backed off, but I still have it all on my mind in the mornings and different times throughout the day. My mood can still be up and down too, is this normal? Part of recovery? I almost feel like it's a anxiety hangover after weeks and weeks of feeling totally rubbish. Am I expecting too much of myself too soon? Can anyone else relate?

Can totally relate. I am glad you are feeling better. I am at my lowest at the moment.

Thank you, that is so kind of you to say that. Does it happen to you that when you feel low that kindness from strangers gets you in floods of tears?

It has done, yes. Another parent at my childrens school put together a pamper box for me, I hardly know her and I found that so kind, it did make me cry.
