    • Close Panic Attacks

      Panic attacks started right when I turned 15, went on meds for 4 years, had a bad episode after quitting meds in the middle of that period. Got off the meds after 4 years, was great, relatively little panic and no attacks. About a year ago attacks started again, went back on meds for a year and been off for 2 months, feeling insane again....

    • Open Breakups & Divorce

      Boyfriend moving out, first time I have lived with anyone. I have gone through horrible medication withdrawls as of recent and had a complete breakdown. As I tried to stabalize my mood and started to feel better my relationship is ending and I have fallen into a black pit again. I can't imagine being without him and being alone here. I am going to have to see him too because he works at the ranch my horses are at and I don't know how to handle seeing him after he is out of this house.
