New here need some good vibes

[Meganck]

Hi everyone,
Long story short, I was on Paxil 5mg for six weeks, breakthrough anxiety upped to 10mg. Severe anxiety. Stopped cold turkey and started lexapro that night. Haven't left my house until today (day 5 on lexapro) and that was just a ride to the store with my mom. Have to go back to work tomorrow and I'm terrified of the anxiety and panic attacks I will go through. Any words of advice are greatly appreciated!

I know it sounds so simple but remember to breath. Try some positive thinking, maybe even write out what you're grateful for. There are also great meditations on YouTube and binaury beats are awesome as well. It may not fix everything but it can ease the anxiety a bit because you wont' be thinking about it for those moments.

Try to remember that the help is on the way and that you are working on figuring out what works best for your body. I'm struggling with anxiety myself and while I know it's hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel, there are many people who say they have reached the other side of things. I hope we both get there soon
