Anxiety/Depression but don’t know why

Hi all

I went through a break up at the start of this year which triggered some anxiety and depression problems. I felt randomly anxious/panicky for no reason along with various other symptoms. I started counselling but ended up on Sertraline.

Fast forward, I got back together with my partner and resolved the issues I thought I had. I gradually came off the Sertraline and stopped completely about a month or so ago. I wasn't 100% but I felt miles better and was happy to come off the Sertraline - by the end it felt they were doing me more harm than good.

A few days ago I began feeling very anxious again - like on the verge of having a panic attack. I've then been feeling anxious and hopeless for the last couple of days.

I am gutted because I thought - after 10 months - I was getting better but it feels like I'm back at square one.

I still go to counselling on and off but I just have no idea what's triggered this recent episode and don't know what to do to get better.

If I ring the doctor I'm worried he'll just put me back on Sertraline which I'm not sure really helps and it will feel like a massive step backwards.

Is it normal to have some sort of remission 4 weeks plus after coming off sertraline?
