Side effects or even normal body feelings getting magnified and your mind and all attention stuck on it - all thanks to anxiety.
Its scanning your body for any sensations or feelings event innocent one, normal feelings like headache or etc - and turning them into something terrible. And you are getting even more anxious, and more anxiety means more body feelings and fears - and here you are stuck in anxious loop. Thats what anxiety does.
Its very hard or even impossible to control these feeling when you recovering. All you should do say this to your self - I AM OK, i am recovering, thats the way meds work, i am not alone and I WILL BE OK
And trust me - IT WILL

Hi Matt
Depression, anxiety comes and goes, and its all quite normal. So is the emotionless feelings and the fear. There are so, so many feelings that come into effect when dealing with this . The worst I found for me was the fear and high anxiety in the morning. Evening time was like I had nothing wrong. I looked forward to my evenings . It was a break from what I've dealt with all day. Having said that, please try not to fear it. You need to go about your day as if it was not there. It's truly the hardest thing ever, but trust me , it's the way out. The more you dwell on the feelings, the longer it will take to get over. Your body is telling you that's there's danger when there actually isn't any. That's the hardest part of recovery. Alot of people probably don't understand the method of this and that's why they stay in this mode for years. I was one of those people til I was so sick and tired of feeli g that way. I figured I'd give it a try. Let the fear sit there, tell yourself ,Thank you for protecting me, but there is no danger here. The fear will keep coming back but you keep doing this and eventually it becomes less and less scarey. I sincerely wish you a speedy recovery..
