{{{Suz}}} How is your dh doing?
Compared to 6 mo ago I am in such a better place. Of course the proper dx helps. Since I've been dx bipolar it has gotten so much easier. I am still taking xanax from time to time but I don't feel as overwhelmed by anxiety now as I used to. My p/tdoc says that since I am in that place where I question whether or not I need my meds is a very good sign to how I am doing and I think she's right

Hugs & Positive Thoughts Always,
Jan,
Totally agree to some of your post. Feel everything is back to where it was before my ordeal last year. Thank you.
Hi, Are you new to the group? I don't recall seeing you around since I've been aboard. Stop by the chats, there are lots of us that have been right where you are - myself included. Although I'm making great progress and hope to be able to work at least part-time by labor day (my goal) I am still nervous outside my home. I am also trying on my husbands nerves, I'm sure & the extra income would certainly help us. I hope to see you around more!

I have taken meds in the past during severe spells of anxiety. If I need too, I will take them again. I also had alot of help from being in therapy & discussing my problems. Have you tried that method? Learning new ways to cope can take along time. I had a terrible fear of driving & didn't drive @ all for 3 years. I also have trouble in the mall, elevators, tunnels & public transportation. This is the result of anxiety. I never heard that agoraphobia was a side effect of Paxil or any other med. I used the small step approach & made myself face my fears of leaving home & driving. Just a short drive to the stop sign & back home. Each day I pushed myself further & further.
Blessings, Suz

Hi Suz,
What a great question.
I have only had this for a few months so I can only tell you my hopes.
my hope for the next six months is to become more educated about anxiety. I also want to be able to be more accepting of this, I am still having a hard time believing this and dealing with the fact that I have this. I'm still in the "it's not fair I'm a good person" mode.
I hope to continue on this journey and keep getting better and I just hope to have a great happy life.
