Hi everyone, last year I suffered a terrible bout of depression and constant anxiety due to a medication I was taking. The side effects were crippling and if my job did not allow me to telecommute, I might very well have lost it and everything with it.
Fortunately, I kept myself vigilant and made it through. It took about 6 months to finally be able to get out of bed without anxiety and then a month after I could be alone again without anxiety (seriously, I thought I was dying before and couldn't be alone ... this from a lifelong "lone wolf" personality!). Then by last August, I forgot about my anxiety all together and its past me. Thank goodness for that!
