Oh I've been through all that when I began antidepressant medication in t he 1980s.  Still here!  Still upright ;-).  'they' would have to fight me 2 remove me from my meds !!!! oh and for chocolate 

When my anxiety floors me I feel that I will never be well ...... which is scary.  My brain never returns to how well I've been  , it always hones in on negatives.  I don't know why, whether it's a survival strategy from our cave days?

This too will pass.  Half a day at a time.

Yes, when I'm having bad days I do take the day slowly and get through the best I can...
At the moment  it's lasting all day but I do know it will pass..if only it would pass permanently.... ...
I'll stop feeling sorry for myself now  .x

I know how this is. Sometimes it is getting through the next hour. Go easy on yourself and try to work out what it is you need at the time as that will differ. I too have had worsening symptoms mid cycle and then end of cycle which im sure is estrogen related  particularly around ovulation when estrogen peaks. I now see a private psychiatrist and am on the right medication, to the point that even my PMDD is reduced to 2-3 days per month when it used to be a full 2 weeks. However I still get a dip when I get my period and it throws me off kilter for a few days so there is definitely some kind of hormonal interaction going on too. It is so hard, I really feel for you and I hope it gets better x

It is hard ....... sometimes the 'dips' are worse than when it all began!  Eating regularly can help, I may have said

From reading the guidelines today, it also looks like updated guidance is being issue in November this year, so not sure what else will change,  although hopefully for the better!
