Hi guys.... never posted before so give me a break on the msg...
I'm 51 and have had anxiety and depression now for 20 years... it's been a tough road, but I go to work every day ( most days) and just accept that I have anxiety....
I've been on aropax for the whole time, which I'm sure has helped...
However the last few months has been really tough..... went to my doctor and he's just started me on medication..... I'm on day 7 and really not sure what to think.......
First 3 days I felt mentally better, but the last 4 days I've been having a bit of a relapse into negative thoughts and feelings...
It's really getting me down.....has anyone else had this????..... Not sure whether to continue or go back to just existing......PS...if you're reading this post, you are obviously struggling as well.
Keep your chin up and just do what you can... don't overthink everything like me.....I hope you have a better day tomorrow than you did today 🙏🙏🙏

Welcome Darren,
I am a bit younger than you but had anxiety for a similar amount of time.
From what I understand new medication can take weeks to take full effect, so it might be too early to tell.
And I hope you can take your own advise too, keep your chin up and try some distractions for the constant thinking (hence why I am here haha)
