Deb- Thanks for the reply. I am just concerned about it and was wondering if it was normal to feel this way initially. I know I have read about the “dip” and didn’t know if that was something that could happen in the first week. Because from what I have read it typically takes place (if it happens at all) later in the treatment process. I realize we are all different but this just frightening me because the relentless anxiety, panic, and intrusive thoughts that I am experiencing are similar to how I felt in January when I went inpatient. I have had depression and anxiety all of my life but nothing this severe. Which was brought in by postpartum depression/anxiety after having my daughter 9 months ago. Just looking for relief, as I know that we all are.
