I am being treated for generalized anxiety disorder and depression. I have some OCD traits and severe TMJ disorder. I am a recovering alcoholic since 1993. I recently went through 2 knee replacement surgeries (first on 10-08 and second on 5-4-09). The first surgery failed. I was on opiates for a long time and i am off now, but feel like i am addicted because they meds made me feel more calm in the evening. Now I have a lot of anxiety and unfounded guilt. I have always imagined others may be mad at me and read into there actions, non verbal language as something i have done wrong to diplease them. This has gone on for years. the opiates helped to take that away. I am on Prozac wich helps greatly with my depression. I wonder if there is somethingmore i coudl be doing besides attending 12 step meeitngs. I also see a therapist. I am always told i am bieng to hard on myself. I just want to stop worrying excessively. Thanks.
