Hi Everyone,
I need a bit of advice if I may. I have, seemingly overnight, gone from a confident professional to a ball of anxiety that I can't put my finger on.
Two months ago, a lot happened. I had a lot of dental work done that I was pretty bummed about, I have not fully recovered from that physically and I worry about the pain never going away / that I have given myself TMJD, my girl who I was in a long distance relationship with broke up with me, there has been a lot of change in my work life, I am having to relocate to NYC from DC and my performance at work has suffered greatly.
The symptoms from my dental work continue to diminish which indicates it will eventually resolve but I cannot stop being anxious. Ever. And now I cannot work out what I am anxious about. This has gone on for something like 6-7 weeks now and I am underperforming at work, unable to concentrate on the matter at hand, cannot relax at all and feel like I am on red alert the whole time. I have seen a Psychiatrist who I talk to once a week and who has prescribed Klonopin for intermittent relief, but it hasn't moved me much closer to resolution.
Has anyone ever had something like this happen? Does it go away with time? Is there anything I can do?
Thanks for any advice.
DCJM
