Where there's a will, there's a way, Sarah. I've been poor so long that it's second nature to find the least expensive way of doing things. Have you <u>tried</u> going to a walk-in clinic if only to have a doctor there prescribe something? Here's a list of Walmart's $4 prescriptions:

but i feel like i don't like medication really anyway. it's like it just covers up the problem and doesn't really do anything to solve it.

HUH? Maybe it's different with some anti-anxiety drugs? Maybe. I do know sometimes it IS good to "cover up the problem" ... I have chronic pain and my pain meds work <u>because</u> they cover up the pain. I used to be like you with 'em ... until my son made the great comment, "but Mom, that's why God made pain pills!" Medicines do NOT take the pain away ... whether it's emotional or physical pain. Medicines take the edge off so you can <u>function.</u>

Hang in there, Honey ... you're doing the brave and strong thing by coming here for help. When you share your problems, you let someone else carry part of them. Keep sharing, Sarah! Keep sharing!
