Not to put this solely on my pdoc, but I think he is so wishy-washy with what he suggests that I feel like I can do almost anything with the meds.

So I guess that might be what it's really about. Anxiety related to meds and what they're supposed to be doing. I know the combination has worked for a while and I know my pdoc wants me to continue on meds and stuff, but I am just super unsure about whether the meds cause my sluggishness and lack of motivation at times and the pdoc doesn't necessarily understand that. Of course, I want to continue on some level of meds. But, I also know that too high of dosages can be bad for me personally, as high dosages make me feel like a zombie.

I find cbt helpful for anxiety...a lot of anxiety for me comes from my thoughts about a situation that get amplified and go round and round. The woebot can be really helpful in identifying these and helping you recognize the logical fallacies but of course it’s even better to have a T help you.
