Depression, anxiety, brain fog?
Ok here goes!
I suffered from a case of depression and anxiety about 2 years ago. My symptoms were nausea, headaches, detached unreal feelings, dizziness, not wanting to leave the house etc. I started taking Prozac 20mg and after a while my symptoms passed and my life got back on track. After about a year i came off them.
So up untill Christmas i was fine, then i caught flu and since then all the old symptoms are back, mainly the detached, unreal, brain fog feelings. Also i cant sleep although i am so tired and drained. I fall asleep then wake up in the very early hours. I have been back to me doctor and she has put me back on the prozac and given me sleeping pills. Bascially im scared the Prozac will not work and im never going to be myself again. I loved my life up until i got the flu! I have been signed off work for two weeks to try and sort myself out.
Basically has anyone been through this? Have u had a relapse after illness? How did u get out of it? And will these symptoms go?
Im so so scared right now!
You have a glass with water in it and at the moment it is half empty…..what you need to do is change the way you look at it and see it as half full.
In other words you are looking at everything negatively instead of positively and you are the only one who can change this.
Human brains have a strange way of working and we set ourselves up to lose by thinking we can't succeed, ie " Oh I can't do that" so we do everything in our power to prove ourselves right, so we fail and can then say " see I told you I couldn't do it"
Why shouldn't these tablets not work this time? They worked fine last time!
Take some "me" time for yourself and once a week go and pay and have a facial, eye lash tint or manicure and treat yourself and if you can't afford that, then one evening a week do a home manicure, relaxation bath, facial etc
Been just were you are, got through and been back again……….life is full of ups and downs and when you are down the only way you can go is up.so look forward and start that process.
Good Luck
