The new psychiatrist i saw Tuesday told me for a fact that i have borderline, bipolar rapid cycling, social anxiety and GAD. These had been in my health records but i never truly believed them. She spent 2 hours with me. So she started me on Klonopin. She told me to start out with 1 mg, and see how it works, then just, "experiment between 1mg, 1 1/2 mg and 2 mg." I took 1mg the first night and it really did help my anxiety a little, but not enough. So last night I took 2mg. I feel like a completely different person today. Oh my gosh my mind is so much more relaxed than ever before. More relaxed than even when i was a young child. (I have always had the social anxiety) I am able to think straight, pay attention because i don't have so many thoughts in my head. Today I even went,(with my husband, I'm not at the point yet where i can go alone) to the store, I payed the cashier (this may seem small to a lot of people but to me it was a big step), and even laughed when she made a joke, instead of thinking she was somehow making fun of me. I didn't take ANYTHING the wrong way today. It was a great day.
