Thank you for your reply. My pdoc asked me if I wanted an SSRI for the anxiety but I decided to tough it out for now---I guess I'm reconsidering that decision as I don't have time for therapy at the moment. I've had cbt and it helped me a lot but I keep forgetting to practice it so it helps to have maintenance therapy I think.
