Have suffered anxiety on and off since teenage years. Significantly improved around 2 years ago after having a baby.
Summer time I feel great, really happy, really energetic, out all the time, work in the garden, playing with the children.
Comes to September my mood slowly declined. I don't get out, I have no motivation to do anything, feel tearful and low, get irritable (doesn't help that my toddlers behaviour and sleep seems worse in the winter) I'm tired all the time and have irrational thoughts and anxieties.
I'm reluctant to see thw GP ad they will recommend ADs and this will feel like a step back to how I used to be when I've come so far.
I know I should self help, use my lumie, go for a walk, do things I enjoy, exercise and eat well but I just don't have the motivation to do it. I just want to stay in bed, today I'm even working in bed.
Not sure what I'm asking for really, maybe for someone to just tell me I'm not alone.
