[Forever hopeful]

Quick info for those that are familiar with my situation. Day 80 I believe med free. I have decided to start meds but having a hard time moving past the brick wall of agoraphobia that I have not overcome to starting new meds. Besides that point in general I just feel scared out of my mind a lot dreaded doom feeling scared.

Which I think is a part of my GAD? I have had mini panic attacks and I am severely jumpy. So panic disorder is sneaking back in turn reactivating the agoraphobia I had those pretty well controlled. Is it the depression that is causing the return?

Or is that impending doom anxious feeling a normally felt symptom of depression?

For me it is all a mixed bag in recent years. I never used to get anxiety but since five years ago I started getting it bad. For me the anxiety for sure causes paranoia and I get that sense of impending doom. I can't really say if the depression causes it or not. It is worse when I am severely depressed. Thank god the anxiety has been under control with klonopin for the last six months and I have not had any. I still get the depression but with just mild anxiety. That sense of impending doom and paranoia I am well familiar with but it seems to just come out of no where. It is not based on reality at all.

Does your doctor/pdoc know about your concerns restarting meds?

I suffer from both depression and anxiety, but in my case they present differently from what you describe. A mysterious relationship between the two (or more?) problems definitely exists, but I don't understand that relationship and no professional has analyzed it.
