Swinging anxiety and depression

[AO111]

Why do I go through periods of severe anxiety and depression? Normally I always have an underlying hint of anxiety but sometimes I will go though a period of 1-2 weeks when it is much worse. I find myself very restless and wondering what am I going to do next. I feel trapped in my life and that I have nothing to look forward to and I cry a lot. It's a very crappy feeling.

Hi, I'm in your same situation. I started taking Cit one year ago and every month I get a week of anxiety/panic/dep, then I get well, then again bad. I DO NOT REMEMBER BEING LIKE THIS BEFORE THE DRUG. Do you?

Have you thought about changing your med? It sounds like it's not working very well.

Ya I'm on meds. Have been on citalopram for years. Idk what triggers it but my anxiety gets horrible and I feel lonely although I'm not alone. A lot of it could be brought on by boredom. I'm not working right now and perhaps I get tired of sitting at the computer day after day and it makes me restless but I have nothing to do lol.

Anxiety and depression many times go hand in hand. It's not uncommon to go through times of severe anxiety and other times it can be a little better. Are you in counseling or on any medication?
