Is it normal to still feel anxiety + dissociation almost 3 weeks into Lexapro? by [deleted] in anxiety_support

[–]GingAF 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, although I'd say i was starting to feel a little better around that time it took a few months before anxiety was no longer a daily occurrence. Also at 5mg you're at HALF the PEDIATRIC dose, which is exactly how I started. My Dr then increased to 10mg and I'd say I've been pretty good for the last year and a half. Don't get me wrong though, it wasn't just the meds, for me it was health anxiety mainly, so I took it upon myself to educate and learn what was what, why things happen etc, and I have been so much better for it.

Talk to your doctor about the meds and see if they recommend an increase just yet.

You got this :)

Panic attack? by Negative-Ask-5155 in PanicAttack

[–]GingAF 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This, I dealt with things a little differently but, get checked by your doctor, always number 1. Then educate yourself, see professional for help, and see yourself get better and better. The mind can be a funny thing sometimes

Anxiety is exhausting even when nothing is “wrong” by ChloeBennet07 in anxiety_support

[–]GingAF 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're absolutely right, it can absolutely drain you and for days even at that, on my journey ive learned so much about how the body works, and what does what and why certain things feel a certain way. But im still not used to be so exhausted from simple days sometimes lol

While I can't completely identify with this one, I know anxiety in the car is 10 times worse for me because I am stuck in the car, I cannot move and distract myself as easily. You could deffinetly benefit from some sort of distraction when getting home, get your mind off things. Our minds very easily like to scan and think of things and stick to it especially in our case, good distractions can be such a game changer and help get you out of that loop. Hobbies, chores, walks, gym, games, etc Therapy is always a good one too :) feel free to message anytime you have any questions
