I have Generalized anxiety disorder and being treated for that with meds and therapist. I have always had bad dread etc. Lately, I have been so sad. My meds that i just started take away my anxiety and i think they are leaving me feeling very sad? I feel like i have this cloud over me like the commercial and no matter what i do its always hovering over me. I dont want to create more problems than i already have but this sadness is such a sickening feeling. I do have things to be sad about but not that it should take over me every second of the day. I am so confused and frustrated and sad. Should i bring this up with therapist? what if it just goes away? what if im making myself feel this way just to feel moppey around everyone?

Anxiety is usually a part of depression. You might be already taking meds for it. Sure, tell your therapist how you are feeling. That is what they are there for.

You might need a different med or they may want to up you current med. It's so important to be your own advocate. No one will know how you feel unless you tell them. I also have a generalized anxiety disorder with major depression. Its controlled by good meds and I am lucky. I do have occasional anxiety, and its a bear, but no more do I get those terrible panic attacks I used to constantly have.

Good luck. I will be thinking of you!!

Missbelle is right anxiety and depression are evil twins. Talk to your Dr i have always wondered why i feel sad when i don't really have much to be sad about sometimes it is just a brain chemical thing. (i am not saying anything bad about therapy it can be an important piece also)
