hi
how are you after 6 months on 20mg.....are you almost recovered?
the virus has sent my anxiety sky high as i struggle being stuck indoors - walking is definitely a help for me but being restricted is very hard....although i fully understand why.
i'm on 7.5mg and need to get to 10mg next but hesitant to move up with all this going on.

Hey I was doing very well actually and had just moments of anxiety. Since this corona stuff tho triggered so many changes it has been hard for sure and my anxiety has not been too great. Today I just feel like i am having a pretty bad blip, but this might be due to hormones and the fact that I got a bit drunk on wine last night.

that's good to hear you were doing so well but understandable atm - think we're all struggling with the virus issues. hormones are a lot to blame in the anxiety cycle - my periods always cause it to increase my anxiety quite a bit. Katecogs says she's had blips all along the way and stressful situations always set me back a bit, too.

Hi Lala all this what's going has put into perspective all the stupid things I used to worry about. When this all blows over I'm going to do everything to start enjoying life again. Take care guys and state safe.

I was thinking the same about increasing to 30mg. but I think its coincidental with this corona stuff tbh the feeling of anxiety. maybe we should just ride it out and see what happens when it all settles. its normal I think but it sucks how it affects us. intrusive thoughts are the worst and thats what happens to me when the anxiety flares up I get those stupid thoughts.

yes the fear of losing control I the worst for me. i do think the current news are affecting peoples mental health a lot. I was doing really well before all this started. hoping I can just ride it out. if not then I will increase

why do you think you have to? I am thinking if still waiting a bit longer on a 20mg as current situation from my experience makes a lot of people anxious. once it passes should alleviate stress slowly. let's hope it wont last too long.
