ANXIETY really sucks. HELP ME.

Posted by dimple on April 5, 2006, at 16:15:33

Went to see my counsoler today. When I came in she said, "How are you?" I said, "I'm allright," in an unenthused tone. After we went through what was bothering me, she asked if there was something more to what is making me feel "allright," and not good/happy, etc. I told her that around my menstural cycle my anxiety is pretty bad. I take Klonopin- .5 mg 1-3 x's/day and 300mg of Wellbutrin XL daily. She thinks my meds may need adjustment. I'm way too sensitive to the side effects of medication, so I'm a little scared of having a med that disrupts my quality of life- even if it is supposed to help it.

Going to therapy was a lot harder than I thought it would be. When I leave the building- I just feel overly emotional and depressed. I guess it is the "hashing out" of my deepest fears, anxiety, and sadness that makes it more real. I'm still in that state and have no reason to be upset, really.

She said it seems like I have GAD (generalized anxiety disorder) and SAD (social) and depression. I knew that, but was glad she figured it out. This is so difficult today. I have days where i am able to talk to people and then there are days where I talk to them and then beat myself up later because I could not speak without stuttering or couldn't think of anything to say.

I'm sure this will pass. I honestly don't have it bad in my life. I'll probably wake up tomorrow and wonder what the heck was wrong with me. I'm tired of it. I need some encouragement today if anyone has something to say.
