5 year break up & my anxiety is not the same?

[em415]

So 2 weeks ago me(F23) and my boyfriend(M30) broke up from a 5 year relationship.

We had a rocky 6 months prior and after many attempts on working things out and discussing ways to get us back to normal we ended up breaking up as that was "the best thing right now".

I had been on a new medication for 5 months prior to all this, but before if we were having a fight or talking about our relationship I would always end up having an anxiety attack or at least crying as I have just always been emotional.

But the day we talked and ended things I was just blank, I somehow managed to say everything I felt which is usually hidden behind me crying or avoiding tough questions.

So the situation now is, I have noticed that I seem alright (considering) during the day and night even when talking to people about our break up i seem to be fine, but as soon as I accidentally miss a dose of my Anxiety Medication I crumbled into a blubbering mess, all i want to do is call him and get him back because he is still my best friend... and yes I do miss him but I know this is the right move too.

So how can I be sure that me on anxiety medication is the true way I feel?

It sounds strange but does the Medication have the power to change the way you feel or think about a person?

Ps. I am booked in next week to see my GP and maybe change medication but wanted to see if anyone else had had the same thing.

Hi em415,

Hopefully your Dr will be able to explain this to you. Medication can have a different effect on all people who use it.

Some medications state that they are not personality changing.

I am certainly not a medical person at all. Maybe the medication is helping you to feel differently about life, maybe more settled, so it could be assisting you to experience life with perhaps less tension and feelings of anxiety. Hopefully your Dr can explain it for you!

Maybe it is a bit like taking pain medication, if the physical pain is reduced, then it is easier to get on with life and feel better about everything!

Drs do prescribe medication to assist us.
