I have less crying spells over nothing. I feel less anxious all in all. My pdoc is very responsive, even had me come in on a day he was catching up on his paperwork and wasn't seeing patients. I was having a very bad day and a friend had to drive me. I wrote down the questions I had so I didn't have to speak and cry again. He looked over my questions and went right to the last one - "Would I ever get better?" He said "Regarding this last question, you will get better. I'll be with you all the way". After listening to me cry and talk for about half an hour, he said anxiety seemed a bigger problem for me than he originally thought. Buspar. It seems to be working. I feel like I'm getting better. I still sink whenever I screw up my checking account again, knowing there is more money than there is. I won't check online because that would kill the fun of knowing I have some money in the bank.
All in all, I still think I'm getting better. That's all that matters to me right now. I'm getting better!! Yippee!!!
