Strange how recovery works
Posted , 5 users are following.
Well I'm 5 months in now and it's been very up and down along the way, I've managed to get through all the side effects and started seeing more Good days than bad and have even felt like my old self again. Then just when you think things are turning the corner a couple of bad days come 😒Not even sure why but I feel a bit flat again and nervous/anxious and have that feeling where my eyes and head don't move together! Knotty tummy and feeling sick. I'm seeing my therapist today so hopefully that will help! Anyone else experienced this at 5 months? Xx

I had plenty of anxious days at 5 months and I've been on citalopram for 9 months now and still get the odd days where I'm off kilter and feeling anxious!. It really does knock your confidence.
You sound like you're doing great.

You're so right about recovery - its very strange how it works. It's not like taking an antibiotic or something and just start feeling better, these meds work in a very strange way. That's why many people get so confused by them, thinking they're not working, not getting better.
You'll get there - sounds like you're well over the worst of everything now.

Treat this current blip with a calmness, let it be there, know that it'll go - it will. I know that feeling - I've cried many times through sheer frustration and said so many times 'it's just not fair'!! My cat had many a time when her fur was all soggy where I'd cried and buried my head into her. Bless her ....
When you're having a good time you think you've beaten it at last, can cope with anyting - then when you're back down in that hole again all those good intentions just fly out the window. Even though you can have months of feeling good, you can get the odd time of feeling low - sometimes it could be really low. Remember, it WILL go.
