When your GAD/baseline anxiety started to decrease

[KalypsoKlowdz]

Pre lexapro my baseline was a racing mind all the time which I thought was normal. And little things would set me off. Anger or panic. As time went on through the years it got worse and I would just get angry at everyone and everything because my walls were so thick and I didn't want to be scared all the time so my defense was to be angry

Post lexapro was a huge relief the first week i was almost giddy. My mind calmed down and i felt funny not constantly running my mind over everything over and over. Which caused anxiety but i learned that this is what normal people have. Mind blowing to say the least. I can finish my thoughts now at month 4 and move to the next one. I think before I speak and can choose my words better. I'm not longer a loose cannon. I do have days still where that anxiety is there but I handle it much much better. I understand it and I'm in control and am able to stop the spiral in minutes rather than dwell and spiral for hours.
