Thanks for asking...

I was doing much better last night. I even went grocery shopping with dh. I had a good night except at one point I felt like something was stuck in my throat.. I calmed myself down on that one.

I then work up this morning shaking and now as the day goes on I feel worse and more out of reality and dizzy. It really scares me to go back and forth. I just pray that I will feel better soon and stay that way. I decided not to have adivan or anything for fear of making it worse so I am stuck dealing with this until the meds kick in. I can deal with all of it except the out of reality feeling. Did you have all of these feeling when you were really learnig about this and getting situated on meds?

I just feel as though I'm the only one who has ever felt this bad, do you know why we get that out of reality feeling? It really does make it hard to function. I am trying to clean but its not working out too well....I just want to get back to normal and feel like myself. I have so many plans for the summer with my family and I want to do it all with them.

I am really scared that their is something else wrong with me.. maybe I'm misdiagnosed.

I wish I had a penny for every time someone has posted this to our board or I actually thought this myself. It is hard to believe that anxiety can cause this much trouble. It will take awhile for

I know it feels like you are alone but you really aren't. I get that out of body experience many times after therapy, not as much anymore but certainly in the beginning. Time does heal us and it does get better. Hopefully the lexapro will kick in very soon and you'll start to feel better.


If you feel that you may have been misdiagnosed don't hesitate to get a 2nd opinion. It's ok to doubt your dr. Like I told you in chat, I do my research because I don't totally trust any dr 100%. I want to know my options before I get in there so it isn't so overwhelming. Dr's are human and mistakes happen from time to time but for the most part you need to trust your dr. I also have trust issues and that may be why I don't trust any dr 100%


Keep talking it out. I know for me that really helps. We are here for you. Hope to see you at chat again on tuesday night.


Hugs & Prayers,



Danielle

Hi Danielle,
I seem to be having ups and downs. I still have a hard time leaving the house.
Today I went to help my cousin move, I was actually doing pretty well and even laughed a little. As the day went on I had to tell myself more and more that i was ok, I decided that it was time to go home. Dh was more then happy and my family understood. As soon was we got into the driveway I started to cry.
I just cried for a while and i was really getting upset... dh calmed me down. He kept telling me that I had made it this far and this was just part of it. he reminded me that I am doing better and that I have to give the lexapro time to work, it won't happen overnight. My head understands but its so hard when I look around and am dizzy and feeling spacey.
Anyway I had a good cry and then felt a bit better. Its almost time to take my meds so I'll do better when that kicks in... I only have 16 minutes left.
This is such a scary thing, I pray that i will feel "normal" again. Whatever that may be...
Thank you so much for your support!
Heather
