My anxiety issues seemed to have been getting better until a few days ago. I realized my job was causing me a huge amount of stress, so I quit. It was so bad I was having vivid nightmares about the place which would wake me up feeling completely disoriented. Yet, ever since then, my anxiety has been higher than normal, and yesterday I suffered a panic attack. Of course, Dr. Google didn't help at all when I started searching things online and started thinking maybe I've got schizophrenia. Since then, I've been trying to make peace with the fact that I'm not, and that the derealization I feel during my panic attacks is nothing more than derealization.
So now, my life consists of nothing more than Watching TV, sometimes playing computer games, and sometimes being with friends. I've been trying meditation, which was helping me for a while, but now it doesn't seem to have the same effect.
I think I'm just worried about my mental health. The Prozac I've been taking for almost month, I'm not sure if it's helped or hurt me. My mom takes prozac, and it seems to work pretty well for her. Yet I still feel anxious. I'm wondering if when I go in for my next check up if I should try going without Prozac for a while to see if I get better. I'm thinking I might have some negative reactions to it...
