In reply to is being too mellow an illness?, posted by lostforwards on November 4, 2004, at 7:26:05
Geez, one step at a time.
I would definately *not* take anything to purposely increase anxiety. (although you could try a coupple jolts of coffee :)
People go to great lenghts to reduce and/or eliminate anxiety, and when its gone, people think there is something wrong.
What one person finds anxiety provoking, another person will not.
Thats like saying, I'm not in pain at the moment, I think theres something wrong, so I'm just going to stick my hand on this burner over here.
Anyhow, you can treat apathy, if thats what you're experiencing.
Oftentimes in recoving from a mental illness, the anxiety goes first, then the apathy and anhedonia.
