i'm sorry you are feeling this way right now and very glad you posted to us.
do you have a therapist or take any meds for your anxiety? i suffer from anxiety and i know my med works cause i have very few outright episodes since going on the med. my therapy helps me untangle why i feel a certain way. if i didn't have that support system it would be very diffcult for me to figure stuff out on my own.
i'm glad you are reaching out and talking about these feelings. it helps reduce the fears. be gentle with yourself...and stay in touch with us here at pc, k?
Madisgram, I have thought that too. Because ever since mom died my extended family has nothing to do with me. I don't want to lose anyone else I love for any reason. But I don't have a therapist at the moment because my doc. won't give me a referral to one. All I take is .5 Xanax twice a day and soon I'll be starting lexapro for depression. Hopefully when I switch family drs., I'll be able to find some help. I'll keep coming back here. There's alot of support from people who personally know what I'm going through. Thanks y'all.
