Sorry for the delayed reply guys, work has kept me busy lately!
Sol sys – thanks for your story, it does really help hearing something so similar doesn’t it. I found it funny once I opened up to a few close friends about it, how many have told stories of being in the same position in the past.. one of those things that sadly is still not spoken about.
I’ve been on medication for just about two months now, I was pretty nervous to begin with having no experience but honestly I am so glad that I did. It worked quite quick too, I’ve read 6-8 weeks, but all the strange side effects of my body adjusting pretty much subsided by two weeks. It was explained to me like it creates a clean slate in your mind to be able to take cbt on board and it does really feel that way.
Day to day triggers I couldn’t tell you! It felt absolutely random. I’m in the process at the moment of unpacking the core problems that would create the different anxieties in life, it’s interesting being able to slowly put the dots together.
I’d love to hear how you’ve been going!
