Therapy is a great help. I used to take medication for depression as well, and I too had some weird side effects. I think it was wellbutrin that I took. It made me wake up late at night and I would kinda sleep walk. I'd have these vivid dreams and then I'd feel like I'm still in them as I wake up. It was weird and trippy. But, I tried something else and then therapy came in and I didn't really need the medication much anymore.

I'm sorry to hear that. My brother had something similar, but it was more of an episode for him. But, we suspected he took some drugs and it caused the mental breakdown. We still aren't fully sure what happened. I wouldn't say he had GAD, but he acted a lot like what someone with GAD has, but worse I'd say. It was scary.

I'm sorry that happened to you. I'm happy to hear you are still doing good in spite of it, and aren't letting the past bring you down.

I say go for it. If you feel stuck, talk to someone. And as you said, there are already apps and sites you can go to instead. So why not utilize those? I imagine they'd be a lot more comfortable to do than in person. But that's just me.
