My anxiety has been bad lately

Very abnormal, it hasn’t been like this in a long time now. I’ve been getting anxiety over everything, things that didn’t cause me anxiety before. I’m getting anxious over working at all, getting anxious over taking my dog to puppy school, etc. Stuff that did not bother me at all until recently. I don’t know what’s causing this but it’s not fun :disappointed:

Sorry to hear that! Do know that it will pass again…there will be better times ahead!

Do you sleep and eat well, healthily? Did anything special happen?

Did you speak to your pdoc about it, or anyone else in real life?

I’m hesitant to tell pdoc as I feel he’ll just raise the dose on my depakote, which I may need but I’m always scared to raise doses in case some bad side effect suddenly shows up.

I guess the only thing that’s changed is I’ve been processing a lot of trauma lately. So my ptsd has flared up. I’ve been having some anger problems too.

You can tell him, and immediately tell that you are scared of raising doses? And in the end, you yourself decide on the dose, right? But sometimes talking helps…

And I understand… I have such periods as well… especially if something triggering happens, or the opposite, if life is real quiet and easy and I have time to think. Did you have something like EMDR? Perhaps you need something like that, more than a raise of meds?
