Re: Anxiety and medication - June 4th 2020, 02:09 PM

I don't think you can 'fake' your anxiety. If you feel anxious, then you feel anxious. But if you are concerned, then it's definitely worth talking about. I don't know much about medication or how they work...is there any possibility that you might have developed some tolerance to the medications?

I'm also wondering why you are sleeping the day away...are you not sleeping at night or just find yourself sleeping during the day?

Regarding contacting the new office...is it possible to email, if you find calling difficult right now? If not, it would be worth trying to do this with your caseworker or therapist. I also understand that you wouldn't want anyone to mess with your meds. But the psychiatrists and other professionals are there to help so you might want to make it clear to them what you do and don't want adjusting. If you notice anything different, then you'll want to get in contact with them to correct any mistakes. Professional and patient need to work together...they might know what they are doing, but you know you and how medication affects you better.

There's a lot of things going on in the world right now, and this may worsen symptoms of mental health. If you don't have much of one right now, then developing a routine might help a bit. Even if it's just one task a day. My worst moments of anxiety have been when I have been overwhelmed with things to do, and can't seem to do much of anything. Doing one thing a day can help and you may find that this lowers your anxiety a bit as well.

Take care
