    About Me

    I'm 22, graduating from college this month. I'm just learning how to be an adult and be responsible while dealing with my anxiety, depression, fears, and compulsions or addictions. I have a supportive family (sort of), a boyfriend who doesn't understand my issues, and a couple really great friends who, no matter how much I trust, I cannot get myself to copmpletely open up to.

    • Close Anxiety

      I've always been the anxious, overly emotional type. It all came to head my Junior year of college when I began having panic attacks brought on by guilt over perfrming poorly in school and having a loser boyfriend who used me and abused me and changed my entire sense of self. Since the beginning of the panic attacks I've seen several different doctors, been on several medications, gotten into yoga and sprituality, but I'm still struggling every day to free myself from my anxiety.

      Treatments

      Ativan Working / Worked
      Ativan was my original anti-anxiety and I liked it but I couldn't really tell, since I was new to medication.
      Breathwork Working / Worked
      Works great in the short run...I don't do it enough really to see direct benefits...but i'm sure they're out there.
      Klonopin Working / Worked
      My current med. Works great but does make you a little sleepy.
      Lamictal Working / Worked
      New mood stabilizer I've been on for a few months. They don't really know how it works but I do think there's been a difference in some of my strictly anxiety symptoms.
