I did it! I FINALLY went to the doctors to sorta tell my story. I have been suffering for years w/anxiety, and it has unfortunately gotten the best of me as of late. I have had it, so, I picked myself up and dragged myself to the doctors. I cried, and cried...and she looked at me and said "well hun I think you need meds"...haha I laughed! She said "some need counseling, some needs meds...you're way past counseling"!! So, basically I'm a nutjob:D
She assured me I wasn't a nutjob...and that she really thinks the meds will help..and if not these meds (Paxil, and Klonopin) Sp? she will put me on different ones. I have heard nice things about Klonopin...but it makes me anxious just thinking about taking one. I did however take my Paxil today even though I was terrified. Baby steps in this whole anxiety process...I was so scared to tell my story for fear of being looked at as..depressed (which I am NOT) or looked at as an overwhelmed Mommy (which to a certain extent I am) :D BUT it is definitely anxiety..and I refused to let them think it was anything different, and for that I am proud.
Anyways, that's what has been going on w/me...other than taking care of babies, and a teenager...and dealing w/this anxiety crap.
Hope all is well w/everyone else
