Starting to feel a LITTLE relief

Happy Thurs (rain here in Santa Cruz).
I think I'm finally starting to feel a little bit of relief from my anxiety. Yesterday afternoon and evening were the first times I felt sort of normal. Maybe the meds are starting to work and all the other stuff I'm doing to get better is adding up. I wouldn't say I'm out of the woods, my appetite is still not good, and that is a huge barometer of how I feel emotionally. But last night I found myself super hungry, so that could be a good indicator.
I"ve been now back on full dose of my meds for a month today, and I am lightyears ahead of where I was a month after this happened the last time. So I guess I am starting to feel a little more hopeful that this is going to get better.
I have a new doc appointment tomorrow and I hope we get along. I HATE changing Shrinks. But my other one and I just were not seeing eye to eye.

High five. It's so good to hear some positive news and that you are feeling a little better. It helps to know that things can change. It can give other people hope. Well done for hanging in there, I know you were having a tough time.
I wish you all the best with the new doc. I don't like changing doctors of any kind, nor dentists, hair dressers. anything like that.

Yea it drives me nuts that it's just all over the place, my anxiety.....sometimes its no big deal, and other times I don't want to leave my desk. I can't even believe that I"m pulling off being at work, i should feel pretty proud of that. I'm not sprialing down like i did last time...just a constant state of uncomfort. but im' taking it one day at a time here sometimes one hour at a time. Seems to be lifting a little. I will let everyone know how it goes tomorrow!
