in about 20 min i am going for the umpteenth time to a new psychiatric consult, for my agoraphobia, panic attacks and PTSD. I am so terrified right now, because meds are a phobia for me. Ive found in the past that dr.s dont really take my problems with meds seriously . i think they think im just uncooperative. Onre of my phobias is drivin alone ( especially when im upset). Im scared because ive been feeling so bad lately that i have no other options but meds.my dr. took me off work until April to give me time to get it together. i know this is last minute SOS. would have posted earlier but had to get kids to school. if some one ids out there can you help give me the courage to drive to this appt? Thanks

I just wanted to say . . . focus on the goal which is getting better. If you can make yourself take that one drive it may be the difference in getting better!!

hey Tigs,

I am sorry that you are having such a hard time. I will keep you in my prayers. Have you started the program yet? I am waiting for my program to come. I can hardly wait for it to get here.
I used to fear driving by myself, or going anyplace alone. Some things we just have to do for ourselves.......eke! It is hard, but you can do it. Pray for God to give you the strength to get into that car and go. You will amaze yourself with the inner strength that is in you.

Thanks,
I was able to read one of your messages b4 I left (Chris from Texas). I did make it to my appt. The Dr. wants me to go on Xanax XR 3 mg to calm me down. AAAAAHHHHH.....scared. To top that he wants to add another med next week. I need to pray a lot about this. Just putting a pill on my tongue makes me panic. On the positive side it was nice to come home and read the responses and that someone understands.
LOL Tigs..
