I have found that depression and anxiety often reside together on the same continuum. When one is at the forefront, ,the other is on the back burner, kind of like a pendulum swing. I have learned that after a significant (in intensity and duration) episode of anxiety and the physical toll that can take on our minds and bodies, we just need to rest. There can be a sense of melancholy or malaise for several days that follow that can feel a lot like a depressive episode, and it may be just that, a depressive episode, but it also may be your mind and body coming off the high alert of intense anxiety with the mind and body working together to bring them both into balance with one another so that we can go on functioning at our best (whatever that looks like) as we find balance. If you are involved in psychiatric care with a psychiatrist and a therapist, definitely talk to them about what these experiences are like for you as you may need to shift gears with your therapist or the doctor or nurse practitioner may suggest a medication adjustment. Best of luck, hoping you find balance and contentment in you life very soon. Hugs, Debbie
