Hi Mel😊 Big fan here! I changed my anti depressants after 10 years of being on them just a few months ago because they’d lost effectiveness, but I’ve had an absolutely awful time switching over to my new ones unfortunately. I’m only on 20mg of Prozac currently, but I’m speaking to my doctor tomorrow to up to 30mg after going back & forth about if I should or not for the last month. I’m still incredibly anxious, suffer from depersonalisation & have intrusive thoughts. I started back at work just before Christmas which took all my strength to do so, but I’m still having mini panic attacks when I go into the office. Long story short, my question is - How can I gain back my confidence in myself after being knocked down so badly & when I’m still not in a mentally stable place? I force myself out of bed every morning, I listen to your podcasts, I do the 5 second rule but I’m still suffering with bad bouts of anxiety/depersonalisation & intrusive thoughts. I just want to get out of this rut & gain my confidence back so I can be happy again. Any advice? Thanks for everything you do❤️
