Hi all!
I've been suffering from really bad anxiety especially at night and I don't know why. I've been working on my physical health which in turn has helped my mental health, my finances are now back on track and I don't have to worry about whether I can afford to get tests done, I have a new job that I start in 2 weeks that I'm absolutely excited about, I have a wonderful relationship with my family and friends, I've finally got my sleep in order (going to bed at 12 and waking up at 8:30) which is really good considering I'd go to bed at 5am and wake up at 10am. Despite all of this I've had debilitating anxiety. I'm starting to notice that my sleeping patterns are slowing going back to before. I'm constantly crying. I'm constantly stressing over things that don't make sense. I'm worrying about friends and family. I get worked up over the littlest things. I don't know why. I was diagnosed with anxiety in 2020 and I've been working with a psychologist, but I only see him once a month and the anxiety is just ruining me to the point where I'd rather watch TV for 24 hours.
Has anyone felt this way before? Is my brain trying to sabotage me because things are finally going right for me? What tips do people have to combat crippling anxiety? I've been prescribed valium previously when I had extreme anxiety and I've saved one pill for when things get really bad but I don't want to use it just yet.
I'm happy to answer questions if my situation isn't so clear!
