@annie2 As @suzbyrne mentioned, there are several discussions that you can access in this Depression and Anxiety group. I am curious what medications you may be taking. If you haven't checked with your dr, you might want to do so, and find out if the combination you are on [depression and anxiety meds, plus anything else] may be giving you an unwanted interaction? Is that a possibility?

I would wager that there are increased numbers of people living with anxiety and panic attacks since the beginning of 2020, when the pandemic hit us and changed the way we are having to live each day. It has been a radically different lifestyle, and that can cause some unwanted affects. Not being able to go where we want/do what we want/perhaps even losing our livelihood can be very unsettling.

When my anxiety starts to get the best of me, getting outside to walk and breathe fresh air helps me. Also, I write down my thoughts and feelings, which helps me "get it out of my system" so I am not dwelling on it so much. I do take a mild anti-depression medication, which helps the peaks and valleys not have such dramatic points. For me, looking closely at what might be the root cause of my anxiety has helped me a lot.

Thanks Ginger. I just have not noticed any new posts and was wondering if the site was still active.
