Who are you referring your comment to?

I still confront my anxiety. My as-needed meds are for emergency situations. Emergency situations for me are when my anxiety has gotten so bad that I'm having chest pains/pacing/can't focus on anything or the anxiety is keeping me from going to work (which is something I HAVE to do). I can usually manage without the meds, but there are some time where I am so overwhelmed that if I didn't have the meds, I would never leave the house or I'd self harm in an attempt to relieve the anxiety.

Like I said, I probably won't use the meds AT ALL over the summer months, because there will be significantly fewer triggers. Even when there ARE triggers during the school year, I probably use the meds at MOST two times a week.

I've only had a prescription for these meds 3 times in a year. That's how rarely I use them. My last prescription hasn't even been touched yet.
Thanks for this!
