Question Regarding Medication
Hey guys
I was planning on going back to therapy regarding recent terms of events that went down in my life. I was advised by everyone around me, and I thought I would take another shot at it even though the first time it let me down big time.
However, within the last few years of becoming an adult— I also considered seeing a psychiatrist for tests and diagnosis for anxiety. To be fully disclosed— I am not ‘diagnosed’ for anything. From my last therapist, I was told I likely have moderate anxiety and some depressive symptoms. However, I don’t want to call it anything considering barely any tests were done (imo).
I did not really want to consider medication, and frankly strayed away from it for so long. But I am starting to consider medication for my anxiety. I have gotten really tired of being constantly in a state of panic from the smallest of things— can be as small as something not going my way to someone’s tone changing ever so slightly. It can send me into a deep spiral that I can’t get over for hours and it controls the rest of my day. And to be clear, this feeling has controlled me for most of my life. It hadn’t started recently, just as a result of said recent terms of events.
I’m sure everyone has different experiences when it comes to medication— ‘one doesn’t suit all’. But what would you advise in my situation? And whats your experience with medication had you been on any?
