From what I've read, antidepressants are safe to take while pregnancy. I, too, am in the same predicament, but unfortunately, only anti-anxiety drugs have worked for my anxiety (yes, I've tried many antidepressants). My husband and I have no children, and I'm not getting any younger (37). I'm terrif...

I feel for you Ali, reading your post. Sounds as if you have problems with social anxiety. I had this as a child; some years would be better than others. I finally just got sick of it and started taking more risks. Most likely, the people at the baseball games are not thinking anything about you at ...

That was so good to hear, thank you. I actually woke up twice last night and had a severe panic attack. I haven't had one in awhile and I was feeling like I was moving backwards with the recovery. This is week 10 for me.
Thank You

Hey Kathy, I'm so sorry to hear you're stuggling so badly right now. Have you tried several meds? I assume so since your doc said shock therapy was an option. Why don't you want to try it? If it might help, as unpleasant as it sounds it might work! How long have you been having these problems?

Thank you so much for posting this! You are an inspiration to me. I am going to be moving with my fiancee soon away from my family and we both will be going to separate schools. Eventually his career will take him away from home for months on end. Right now that thought seems scary but I am working ...

I was at work so only saw snippets. Looking forward to CHANGE. What a tremendous moment in history. I feel blessed!!!
