I have been in therapy now for eight months - went in initially for anxiety and depression - diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Depression.
I have made great strides and have been feeling well. I am now down to twice a month therpay which my T calls "maintenance." Then it will be once a month.
He says we have to be very vigilant about signs of "relapse" into my old ways.
I'm wondering if anyone has experienced a relapse (you sufferers of anxiety and depression) and does anyone know how common it is?
And also, what might be some signs? I told my T last week, the first time I hadn't seen him every week for 8 months, that I was a lot more irritable than usual. He says that is a sign of anxiety. I wonder however if it was a sign of my anxiety of not seeing my T and not particularly a sign of my GAD returning. Any thoughts?
