Hi all--
I'm about to finish up a 6 week course of TMS, which has been incredibly helpful. I was deeply depressed, bordering on suicidal, off work, paralyzed. Started feeling some relief after 2 sessions and it just kept getting better. I'm back at work and feeling well. And now I'm having real anxiety about being well--what will be expected of me now that I am well? What if I can't live up to those expectations? Probably these expectations I'm worried about are mostly my own of myself. I do have an anxiety disorder and my anxiety has kicked up big time in the last week or so, as I'm getting ready to go off TMS...I have 3 sessions left. I'll be talking to the pdoc there, and my own pdoc, and my therapist about this.
But also wondering about others who start to get well and then get anxious about being well. Why can't I leave well enough alone? Why must I be anxious about being well?
Any thoughts out there?
