My anxiety hasn't done this before in the past, that's why I'm so confused by it. Normally I'll start obsessing, it'll run its course and then its over. The anxiety will hang around for a while, but I feel like its been here longer than it should. Stress aggravates depression and anxiety and I've got a lot going on at work, not to mention the holidays. I haven't been exercising like I used to either.
Did you take anything prior to Lexapro and what dose are you taking now? Do you have any side effects from it?
I know exactly what you mean about worrying about losing your job, becoming homeless, losing my mind, not having anywhere to go, having no money, etc. Thats one of my ruminating thoughts. It starts out small, like "Oh no, I'm running late", then turns into i could get fired, i won't have any money, my husband and I will break up and I won't be able to take care of myself, I'll become homeless....it just goes on and on until I'm scared out of my mind. Anxiety is great, huh??
