hey all
okay im coming to the end of my 4th month since i started to suffer from anxiety
i havnt taken any medication and iv been in the frame of mind of not trying to find out what caused all of this but i feel im not getting anywhere
i seem to be in a cycle, i have high anxiety for half a week until it calms down to a point where im 75% fine and can get on with every day , this will last for about a week or so and then my anxiety will increase again for another half week and so on
just before my anxiety comes back i always get a really sad/emotional feeling come over me and then anxiety follows
i was wondering, am i better trying medication?
and am i better trying to figure out what my body is trying to tell me?
also i feel my main problem is depression as i always get the sad/emotional feeling before my anxiety increases, could depression be my key to recovery? like i mean maybe if i work on clearing up my depression, will my anxiety clear aswel?
i was told if i cleared up my anxiety then my depression would clear aswel, however i disagree with this because every time my anxiety easies off, i get hit with depression until my anxiety comes back again
what am i to do? i just feel so confused
any info/advice/opinion will be much appreciated
thanks
