Hi, I'm 'nervous and high strung'....

[KareBear]

...... or at least that is what my mom used to call me. Now it's become a self-fulfilling prophecy. :scared15:

Anyway, I am again dealing with GAD and looking for support from people who understand this horrible condition. I struggle just to get out of the house in the morning, get into my car, drive down the icy roads, and go to work (I'm a social worker at a long term care hospital where young people are dying of horrible diseases). Oh, just typing this makes my stomach tighten.

I'm trying to get off Ativan right now but it's not going well.

Anyway, looking forward to hearing from everyone about their similar struggles.

Thank you for the welcome! I'm going to wait til the holiday is over to tackle the Ativan withdrawal (insert nailbiting smiley here). The doctor gave me diazepam to replace it then slowly wean off that instead. Not sure how I'll be after that but I'm going to stay positive. Hope everyone's having a calm happy holiday......:)
