Hi everyone...
My story is that I am already taking medication for slight anxiety and depression, but lately I feel more overwhelmed with it. And the more I read up on anxiety, the more I feel as though I fall into every category of anxiety. I have so many thoughts that run through my head that I don't want to think or that I feel anxious about-I'm starting to think and hope.. (after reading) that I'm anxious because of a bigger anxiety issue and not just being weird. I would definitely say that I'm also OCD as well. I never say what I'm thinking because it feels weird to be focused on or worrying about things...but I think that's what has me at a breaking point now. I'm forgoing activities because my body feels weak and tired, I'm not interested in people and I'm cranky. Saying a diagnosis doesn't bother me but I think that saying what goes through my head does make me feel embarrassed. I badly want to not be withholding all of my anxieties and just let it go.

Hi there and welcome :)

Which medication are you taking and what dosage?

Talking about what goes on in your head is an excellent way to help feel less anxious. Nothing surprises us here and I'm sure you're not just weird :)

Bye for now,

Hi..
I take cipralex right now and a more then low amount :p I'm at .5 and I started at 1/4! I take meds for epilepsy and my dr thought perhaps my meds were making the cipralex double etc. I'm pretty sensitive to meds so a low dose isn't unusual for me, I take about a 1/4 of what I was supposed to be on for epilepsy meds too. Or maybe I got anxious about symptoms and it just never got there ha! I already am glad to be signed in on here

Hi!
Youre not alone at all:). Feeling the same way, and I'm new.
