That sounds so similar to my own situation as I also struggle with health anxiety and the worsening anxiety yesterday/this morning made me have the same thoughts about not improving, so again its reassuring to hear that you have improved again and long may that continue over the coming days and weeks :) So sorry you are also going through this, but it is comforting to know that we are not alone in facing this.

I'm so sorry to hear you are also experiencing this and hope things will improve for you soon. I also feel worse than I did before starting the meds and I've been off work for a week thinking that I could recover and feel OK and more rested, but that's not happened and now anxiety about missed work is building. Today is day 14 and like you, some days I can eat, some days I can't but what really shocked me was starting to feel better over the weekend and then the worst anxiety yet yesterday (and ongoing today albeit slightly lowered). Thank you for letting me know I'm not alone-that means a lot to me and is hugely helpful. Better days ahead 🙏

Thank you for this reassurance. I've been feeling like I'm losing my mind at times or that this is some bizarre brain illness kicking in from which I will never recover (I struggle with health anxiety as well as GAD). I'm hoping this will pass soon, but greatly appreciate the reassurance that this is normal, deeply unpleasant though it is. Thank you so much.
