some questions about medicine?

[teary_eyed 82]

I am going to see my Psychogist tmrw about my anxiety. I wouldn't say it's severe cuz I can still do things like leave my house and go out and stuff ... I mostly get the attacks when I'm alone/by myself. I also have some depression issues, I get attached to people too quickly, etc.

I def. believe I need to be on something. What I don't know. I know to wait and see what the Dr. recommends but I'm curious if anyone has similar issues and what has worked for them with minimal side effects?

Thanks.

I had an experience several years ago that has made me afraid to be alone, so I know what you are dealing with. I have to tell myself, I am fine! I am fine! I say it over and over hoping to believe it and sometimes it works. Sometimes, I have to call someone and ask them to talk me through the "attack" and they are most considerate. Do you have someone you can call and will understand and hang on the phone for a few minutes until you get past the "panic"?
