Well, I have been on Celexa now for 3 weeks. I am feeling much better. I would say 80-90%. I am on 10mg and I am supposed to increase by 5mg today and then in another week or two by another 5mg.

I am feeling more like myself but I still have periods of anxiety, sometimes. On Wednesday, I went to a yoga class and I felt really anxious before the class was beginning. I kept telling myself that I was there to relax and find peace and I did the class and felt great.

Last night, my husband went over a friends house. I was feeling horribly anxious and I almost called him to tell him to come home. I really wanted him to be able to have some down time because he's been so supportive that I just want him to have some fun, himself. So, I almost couldn't sleep and I only finally fell asleep after I heard him come home.

At times, I have such awful ruminating thoughts...like I can't calm my mind.
But at other times, I feel fine. I know, I know...it takes time but I just need to feel reassured.

Has anyone read Eat, Pray, Love? I just finished this book and it was really theraputic to read another womans story of healing...gives me hope

You are in the baby stages of your therapy and getting well. It's so AWESOME that you are doing a yoga class. That can really help. And doing something for you is hugely important.

Be patient. Every body, depressed and anxious or not, has good and bad days. You are having more good than bad now. That's huge progress. Remember that and just be patient. You are on the road and every day is a step in the right direction.
