Have anxiety but now feeling flat and down in myself

I'm on mirtazapine for anxiety the last two and a half years since a relationship breakup, but, speaking to a therapist, she suggested the relationship caused my anxiety, which I can see now it did.

Anyway, it took me a long time to get over things and am doing well on that front now but the horrible physical symptoms of anxiety have remained- a feeling of tightness all over my body, never feel relaxed and constantly on edge.

I've just had a really nice couple of weeks off work, a nice holiday, meeting friends, but am feeling really low in mood and can't seem to shake it.

Anyone else get down in themselves for no particular reason and any tips to overcome it?

Hello op. Yes I'm feeling the same right now. Currently on holiday ( although I'm not doing anything special) and feel deflated and fed up by everything and everyone. I KNOW it's my mental health but it's just such a pain. I just want to feel happy. I can't seem to get away from my usual life problems and issues. I hope you find a bit of joy somwhere. I just tried to distract myself by cooking a nice meal for me and my partner but I thought it tasted awful, he loved it. It's all in the mind I suppose.
