I haven't been to this site in awhile. I thought I was getting better. Had been on anxiety/depression medication for 13 years and decided this past summer to come off them. I noticed my anxiety more but felt like I could work in it.....then winter comes and everyone is sick!
People talk about it like it's everyday normal conversation. I want to hide away, no more work, no more visiting friends, no more eating out. I'm on high alert. I know I can't hide....so I force myself to do these things but am constantly worried. It's horrible to spend every day, several times a day, about to freak out and obsessing over this.
I'm just so worried about catching something from someone. I feel like this is taking over my life again. Is this how every winter will be for the rest of my life and then it gets so bad that it's a year round worry.
