Jenstar,
I know exactly how you feel. I don't have the paranoia about health issues, though, it is all about the parenting...am I ruining my children? Is everything I do with them just a step closer to them becoming serial killers? Or just plain hating me? I went off in April and was getting more and more anxious and irritable, and my husband was telling me I was going to be a complete loon before the year was over if I didn't do something about it. And in all fairness, he was right. So I sucked it up and went to the doctor and got back on the lex. And I am much better. But I have the same issues, I wanted to be able to deal on my own. You have to keep reminding yourself, this is not my fault. This is a physical illness, it is not going to go away on its own (at least not right now) and you live a better life when you're on it. You are a strong person taking control of your own health and well-being. I have to keep telling myself the same thing, and I'm coming to terms with it.
Sorry about the ramble, I hope you feel better...
Missy
