Hey. So I've posted quite a bit over the last few weeks/months. I've suffered with anxiety/OCD pretty much all of my life and have endured some bad episodes. This year has by far been the worst I've ever experienced. I suffer intrusive thoughts that make me worry/doubt whether I've done bad/wrong things followed by HUGE anxiety. I'm definitely better than I was 6 months ago but still struggling a great deal. I don't know how to explain it but I just don't feel right/well. I feel a lot of anxiety, I experience a lot of irrational thoughts and doubt,I feel scared because I don't know what's happening to me and shy I feel as I do. Sometimes I feel very spacey and unreal. I am under the CMHT and on meds. Is this something I have to ride out until it gets better? What if it doesn't get better? Anyone with any positive recovery stories?
I will say that there has been many changes and challenges/stress in life over the past 2/3 years. I just feel anxious and scared because I'm not sure what's happening to me or if I'm going the right way about getting better .xx

What meds are you on? Could it be time to tweak the dose up?

@TreeHuggerMum1 I'm on fluoxitine and quietiapine. I was on sertraline before Christmas. Have to say I'm not convinced it's doing anything.
