I have to rave: meds have helped my anxiety SO much!
last winter i started getting horrible anxiety when the kids got sick... it started before xmas - i was so anxious about them GETTING sick and not being able to enjoy xmas, etc... they didn't thankfully- but then right after xmas it started and lasted literally until the summer - stomach bugs a few times, many ear infections, then strep 4x's ...
it caused me to have IBS issues.... so my GI put me on celexa for the anxiety (a low dose of 20mg).
for a while i wasn't sure if it worked or not- but holy crap i can say it for sure has worked b/c this winter i've been so OK with the kids getting sick. Sure- it sucks- but there's NO anxious feelings when one of them throws up...
we got a call today that Gray threw up --- he's puked 4xs more since we've been home with him tonight and yes, it sucks and i feel horrible for him- but i don't feel anxiety about the others getting it, me getting it, etc.... it's amazing.
if you are suffering from anxiety issues - seriously- talk to your doc. I'm so happy i finally did. I waited and waited... knowing my doc would say i should try meds - and now i'm mad i didn't start sooner.
Re: I have to rave: meds have helped my anxiety SO much!
thank you
I've been wanting to do it for a while but haven't had time... and today i was able to sneak in an appt during lunch - i feel so free!! 
You are making me more and more hopeful that I'm going to feel like a normal person once this baby is out!
But how has it helped with your feeling about piles of unopened mail.
No, I get you all. I don't take a daily med but I take ativan as needed and it totally keeps me from telling of my father in my head at 3a.
Lol!! It's helped a little with that too! I just leave it on Matt's desk. ;-)
