I used to love gym when I was a normal person. Now I haven’t gone in two years. I even get scared of the idea and when I workout I’m constantly checking my body. It’s always the first recommendation I get for stress but I just spend days laying in my bed and only going out for work. I’m not even motivated anymore I kind of accepted that in this life I won’t be the person I wanted to be because of these drugs they convinced me to take when I was 21

I have tried 3 different SSRIs and SNRIs for a year or so, went cold turkey on the last one as I took a low dose, so been withdrawing for 2 years now.

When my anxiety initially started, I’d get very anxious but mentally I would never understand why. It’s like my body and mind were never on the same page.

Right now, it’s the opposite. Sometimes I feel physically calm but instead get a lot of intrusive thoughts and the weird head pressure. Even if I take hydroxyzine for anxiety, my mind still runs like crazy. I try to distract myself and sometimes it works, but right now it’s been bad.

Has anyone experienced this? What do I do?
