Please help. Is anyone suffering like me??

I am having a bad time with anxiety right now and I don't know why!

I am off work, chilling with my family and my body is wracked with anxiety

The only thing that helps is sleep. I have started 3 weeks ago taking fluoxetine 20mg to control the anxiety but I feel like I am fighting to keep calm right now or I will have a panic attack 😭😭😭

      I feel this way all the time. It's like we are suppose to be enjoying our time off work and with our family but we can't stop thinking about the anxiety. I'm the same way believe me I'm the same way. I'm learning to take my mind off of it and telling my self in my head there is nothing wrong with me that this is healthy anxiety. Hope this helps

    Give your medications time to work and follow your GPs instructions with your script.

    Your medication will need time to work and get into your system. You may also be kept on this drug for an extended period. Give all a chance to work

    Yes, I am suffering like you. Despite my efforts my life has become super empty and Iā€œm so worried on a few levels. I'll psych myself into going for a walk läter. Hang in there, we'll be okay.
