Checking out the pages from the past I found out most what I needed to know. Most importantly, I realize that I don't need to be alone about anything any more. When I got my first anxiety attacks at age of seven I didn't have ways to express what I was feeling. I stayed home from school for what I thought was stomach hurt & was consequently being punished for lying & told that there is nothing wrong with me until I believed it myself. It took thirty years of hiding, being ashamed, thinking I was crazy and knowing of no help, gulping down whatever streetdrug that came my way untilo the pain became so overwhelming that I could no longer deny it. I'm on day five, and it'll be a while before I will feel any effects of the medication, but just the fact that I can without shame and hiding allow myself to feel the way I am feeling enables me to handle those feelings better.
I've got one more question. This site seems to focus mainly on medication, I am wondering if anyone knows of a site where we dicuss additional ways that we may benefit from.. such as diet, excercise, setting up a daily routine (sometimes works for me when I am moderately depressed..)
