I had a pretty good appt. with my T-doc today as well. I suffered SEVERE anxiety after some socialization (potluck community affair) last week. I had volunteered months ago before the depression set in. I really didn't want to do everything connected with it (crafting centerpieces, interacting with the other volunteer "hosts/hostesses") now, but if I had made excuses, pulled out, etc. it would have created more questions, etc. so I just did it. All went well with alot of effort on my part but afterwards I just fell apart in private. My husband suggested that I had "social anxiety" but doc thought I just was overwhelmed in this stage of my depression and I am not yet feeling the effects of the medication (because of titration). It was just too much, too soon. So I'm not "scheduled" for anything now and I'm going to be taking it slower.
