I have been dealing anxiety and depression for the past few months now. It's been a long year dealing with all of this. I have started therapy and been taking 20mg Lexapro daily. I have been doing better, but now I am starting to worry that I am going to "relapse" so to speak and get back into that bad anxiety. I feel like it will be a self fulfilling prophecy, that with all the worry I will fall back into that anxiety. Does anyone have suggestions on how I can overcome this.

I don't have any suggestions unfortunately, but I can tell you that you're not alone. I have the same terror...anxious about being anxious. Ugh.

Take up deep breathing and meditation to help with the worry. It takes practice but is worth the time.

Thanks, I feel like my anxiety is weird or maybe it's the same as everyone else's. I have this constant tight feeling in my chest and it's like a weight. It's like if I could breath into an oxygen mask I would feel better. I know it's in my head but it's hard to get over. I don't have that feeling anymore but I just want to feel better.
