The most effective solution for dealing with anxiety for me personally was waking up early. I am not a morning person but once I tried this, I was surprised how good this made me feel.

Low mood can be seen in variety of diagnosis. You need to be re-evaluated. Often comorbid physical illnesses and other psychological factors hinder in treatment response. They need to be ascertained and addressed. In most cases supportive and solution focused approach produce good results and are less time taking.

You are on suboptimal prophylactic dosage of medicines, possibly you are experiencing subsyndromal affective symptoms. Medicines need to be titrated in you which is possible only with consultation. Moreover you need to learn chronological and behavioral aspect of disorder in order to sustain normal mood state.
