However, anxiety and depression are still bothersome, particularly after dark and when I consider all the things I have to do.

That's it, at least I'm not getting worse.

Hi TruthSeeker

 

Its very common to feel more anxious around sunset--its called "sundowner's syndrome" and is tied to hormonal and circadian rhythms.  That's good because you know its just a physical symptom and will fade.  Feeling overwhelmed by a list of to-do's is also common--its a form of catastrophizing--thinking you have such a huge list of things to do, you'll never get through them and just fall farther behind.  Its just a form of anxious thinking and just takes some self-talk to put things in perspective.  

 

So glad to hear you're doing better.  Every day is a day closer to reccovery.

Hello. I just wanted to say that I’m doing very well. The stressful event I was expecting was not stressful at all.

 

I could say that I’m almost (if not completely) recovered. The only issue that drives me crazy is tinnitus, but I think I could have other underlying conditions that might be contributing, I’ll treat them.

 

I’m still on my 50 mg daily dose, and it has been working, however, I have noticed that if I take it just a few hours after my usual time, I start feeling bad really quickly. So I think I’m on a very delicate situation.

 

Well… That’s it.
