Hydroxyzine isn't recommended for anxiety here because it's not rated as very effective. Have you ever tried a sedating antidepressant? Some of them are really good for anxiety

Yeah I have to go to the opticians soon for a second opinion and possibly testing for a perceptual problem, and I'm already dreading mentioning psychosis stuff (normally perceptual issues are developmental, so I'd have to explain why I've only had problems the last few years). :/

Yeah, I was helping someone with benefits stuff and this other woman was asking how I knew so much and asking where I worked and so I had to lie, but I felt bad. Can't admit that the lunatics are helping to run the asylum!

Oh ok, I was just thinking that if you had an ear canal infection, bleach would make it really sore. A pharmacist could look at the canal visually, but if that looked normal, then someone would need to see inside with an otoscope to see the tympanic membrane. But most ear infections are viral, so antibiotics might not help. They're not routinely prescribed here for ear infections anymore to try to reduce antibiotic resistance.

also, thanks willow , about the group. ya i was really nervous...but its turning out ok. im glad i decided to push thru my comfort zone and try it out

It's more likely to be viral then. I'd try paracetamol and taking it easy, and hopefully it will clear up.
You're doing really well pushing yourself to achieve all of these things - you should be proud!
