Hi everyone, I hope you are all doing well!

I was wondering if any of you just feel like breaking down and crying forever? I am so fed up with this panic and anxiety and depersonalization, I worry what would happen if I can't take it anymore! I am a fighter, I find myself at times saying, you can beat this and you will NOT let this win! Then other times I feel like a helpless little baby girl in the corner crying all alone. It's horrible. At times I feel sorry for myself, and I feel sorry for other people who I used to laugh with whom I don't anymore :-(

It's almost like an obsession. As soon as I wake up, these thoughts are there. I am dwelling on it. All day long, all evening long. Am I the only one?

I was reading on the anti-depressant medication board that when you increase a doseage of your medication it can cause more anxiety. I am wondering if this is what is happening to me, because last week my doctor requested that I increase from 20mg's of Paxil to 30mg's. This medication has worked for me before, I don't know when to expect to feel more like myself again.

Has this happenend to any of you? If it has, what helped you to get through it?

Thanks everyone,
Amy
