[anAnxiousGirl]

:unsure: So I have a generalized anxiety disorder which manifests in the forms of social phobia/anxiety, depression, and a few other phobias. I found this site from reading a guest blog post on Nomadic Matt. I don't take medication, although my former therapist tried often to get me to. To me it feels like taking medication would mean having to admit that I can't help myself and I think that's pretty terrifying. I guess I just feel like I've hit a wall as far as getting better, I just feel a bit defeated and like I'm a failure for not being able to handle this disorder on my own.
