Re: Anxiety Has Returned :(
Hey Sobay, about 6 months ago I quit drinking monster completely after a year or two of having at least 1 sometimes 2 throughout everyday. A few days after I stopped I noticed an insane nervous feeling and my mood was overall just blaaahhh. Eventually it turned into panic attacks which led me to the doctor which led me here. No one ever confirmed whether or not the monsters were the cause of my anxiety and depression but I swear they're the reason I now have to be on medication and forums. I think it just messed with my levels of dopamine and a bunch of other stuff and as soon as I quit so abruptly my body became terrified. Anyway, there's no sense in blaming my anxiety on stuff now. It's here and I just have to deal with it. I'm so sorry you're having a relapse but it will get better. You can always count on that. Sometimes it gets worse before it gets better but finding ways to cope whether it be medication or counseling or gardening or yoga or literally whatever is going to be how you get through this. I wish you the absolute best and I'm ALWAYS here to talk whenever you need a friend. I can relate to you so much!
Best wishes,
Nicole
