Hello, I'm having a really tough time atm. I had a severe onset of anxiety and started 20mg citalopram 4 weeks ago. Im still really anxious in the morning, im also starting to feel pretty depressed and tired most days although compared to when i first started them i feel a bit better/less panic. I was in my probation period at work and they let me go so thats adding extra stress as i dont feel ready for another job but at the same time im fed up of being at home.
I normally split the week between ny partners home and mine but im struggling to stay at my partners as i always want to be with my mum.
The talking therapy has led to learning a lot about abandonment issues. I spoke to my GP yesterday and he said to carry on and see call for another chat in 2 weeks.

4 weeks is still quite early in terms of taking ADs and you've had additional stress to cope with too.
I hope things start to ease really soon for you.

Thank you for replying 😊 its just so hard waiting, you know? Im feeling a little better today but its still bubbling and sorta overflowing here and there. I guess im just impatient.

Glad you've had a slightly better day - hopefully more on the way
