I used to be on meds for my anxiety, but they don't work anymore. I developed a tolerance for them and did not feel them at all. Also, when I am out somewhere, I don't want to be groggy; then I feel even more out of control and that makes me more anxious. For me that's like being drunk and I would be more embarrassed about that! One time, I was at a xerox place and nearly passed out because I was taking medication for anxiety. The woman there was very bewildered that I had had to kneel at the machine to keep from passing out and I was embarrassed.

But everyone is different. Do what you know is best for you.

I want to learn skills to deal with my ptsd and anxiety.

I did not make it to the bank yesterday because of pain (tooth hurts again) and anxiety. But I will make it soon.

thanks,

Billi
