Hello

Glad to see that you got some relief, just one thing I would like to say...if I may

Ativan is very addictive, usualy prescribe for a short period of time so you may want to talk to your Doctor about that, there are more choices that are less ''intrusive'' as benzo's.

yes i know my pschyciatrist only gave me a one month supply with no refills and i am a very strong willed person considering my mental health..lol i am happy now and thank you for informing me my pshyciatrist actually told me to find a new doc because he said a family doctor should not be prescribing anti-depressants without knowing what was wrong my doc is good at that

Better off when medicated

I took anti-anxiety medication for close to 20 years. Along with medication for depression and ADHD. I mostly took Xanax and for a couple of years Ativan. I was also in therapy all those years. I never built up a tolerance and never abused the anxiety meds, but you can get sick if you stop taking them. These medications allowed me to work, make house payments, and raise kids. Now, I have no job, no health insurance, and no medications. I can't even get off the couch. If I had insurance I'd have medications and could function.

Riding it out

Non,

Maybe the Crisis center was a blessing in disguise. I was wondering how the Riding it Out theory was working for you.. Now that you know what the diagnosis is what are your plans to deal with this in order to have some happiness and normalcy into your life??

Are you willing to accept and try medications/CBT or are you simply going to continue to ride it out?? Any mental health disorder can be treatable, and it is not a magic pill that suddenly removes all the symptoms but it does help....When you finally accept that fact and are ready to commit to therapy and or meds you will find it to be a great help. Suicidal ideation or the actual attempt to commit suicide is risky....to say the least because if you try and suddenly decide you don't want to die it may be to late!!! I speak from experience. I was fortunate that my instinct to live was still intact for what ever reason.

The doctor many years ago felt I needed to go in to the Psych hospital. My new husband of 3 months just wanted me back home! Oh my God, I met Jesus Christ who blessed me, Mother Mary and many other people I would rather wait to see! I was told by the quacks that I hated my new husban d and nhis daughter!!! It was anxiety that was diagnosed as BiPolar some 5 years later. I told them what it was but no one believed me. Psych hospital convinced me I was 'just a little unwell!'

Doctor's will throw that word "bipolar" out there just like you were just chosen to be w/ the cool kids. I was diagnosed bipolar when I was 16ish... I'm 25 now and having problems with insurance companies giving me coverage b/c of something a doc thought he knew what was wrong w/ me by calling me bipolar. The whole time it was social anxiety. The WHOLE time since I was in 8th grade (12/13ish) is the first time I recall a first symptom. It's been social anxiety and panic attacks. Without my meds.. I wouldn't ever do anything either. I'm right there with you. It'd take a lot for me to go to a gas station or grocery store.. And I mean a LOT. I'd starve for a few days before I ever left my apartment. Keep up w/ the meds and keep your head high. And remember, you aren't the only one hun =)

Trust what God tells you. You know yourself best. I think most doctors aren't taking the time to REALLY listen, and there are as many diagnoses as there are doctors! Thankfully, you have a husband who loves you, and he can help you through this, and you are right,Jesus is THE answer.

I DO trust MY GOD first and formost. I know I can talk to my Beloved husband and we to my pdoc. My husband has cancelled work rather than leave me alone in anxiety.

I am so blessed with Jim. I know my pdoc has been there for me and Jim. What I do know is that I know who the ultimate Eternal Physician. I talk to him all the time. Your words are very encouraging to my spirit.
