I really like what your therapist said about it being totally appropriate to feel anger about a crappy diagnosis. That is so true. I actually think you probably have to accept the fact that you're angry about it before you can start to accept the diagnosis!

I can totally relate to the way you describe your anxiety as a constant feeling of dread in the pit of your stomach. I'm right there with you on that. I get panic attacks too and that just adds even more dread about when I'm going to have another one!

Med changes can be so rough, especially if there is withdrawal involved. I'm really sorry you're going through a hard time with that. Really glad you have a good therapist.
