thanks for your reply schizoidwoman - i did make an appointment but having to wait 6 weeks for appt. on meds - i just need something for anxiety - all other drugs i was put on like antidepressants and haldol only made things worse for me. i just need something to stop the racing fearful thoughts and i think i will be ok. . until then all i can do is close my eyes and try to hang on. .its very hard.
