Prayer helps me the most. I also take Prozac 40 mg and I have Klonopin for really bad days. I had to take one yesterday. I had to leave church early because I was too jittery,
Follow me to the DID/MPD
I still don't feel as though
Hi Heather. I know what you mean about having trouble accepting that all of your feelings and symptoms are just anxiety. I went through that for a very long time and still find myself questioning it and trying to make all these connections of what it could be. I did tons of research online and became very educated about it all, but need to just accept it I guess. It is just so hard to do.

Hey Kim,
I was just wondering how long it really took you to come to terms with it. I feel like a freak most of the time not being about to deal with it..
Thanks Kim
Hey Heather. I would say it took me a good 8 months to accept that what I was experiencing was anxiety and not some terrible disease or the fact that I was literally going crazy in some regard. For the last 4 months, I have not questioned it as much. I still think about it from time to time and wonder how come it happenend when it did and I even start to think that just maybe it is something else still yet, but I quickly shrug it off to being anxiety and move on. It was very hard those first 8 months or so though. I would get extremely scared sometimes and totally break down and freak out thinking that I was really going insane or that something really bad was wrong. I have never been that scared of anything in my life before. It was unreal. I felt like I was a freak, like you said, and that no one could possibly have thier mind messed up like mine was and I felt like I was alone inside my own head in some kind of turmoil. I would tell my husband about it but NOTHING seemed to help for so long. Very scary.
