It’s Me Again

Posted , 3 users are following.

Im not exactly sure what Im looking for by posting this except maybe just some reassurance. Im now six months in on CIT, 10 weeks at 20mg after trying to find the right dose. For about a month (on the 20) I was having mostly good days. I was able to get off all benzos and happily getting on with my life. I went on a vacation and it went very well. Most like myself than Ive felt since starting meds. HOWEVER, since the day we came home (which has now been three weeks ago) my anxiety has only gotten worse. Ive had anxiety attacks (which I havent had in months), very low mood, exhausted, sick to my stomach, not wanting to leave the house, etc. Its like I took one step forward for a while and now four steps back. Ive had to take benzos again as needed and just feel sad and frustrated. At six months, I definitely expected to be much more improved than this. Lots of crying these last couple of weeks out of pure frustration that I just cant seem to get this right. Anyone have anything to share? Or advice? Or just a motivational word? Thanks!
