GAD and Panic Disorder

[Sweetpea76]

I've been off my meds for about a year and a half... and I think I need to go back on them. I've been having a hard time functioning lately. My boyfriend of almost 3 years has Combat PTSD as well, and sometimes dealing with him when he is symptomatic kicks off my anxiety.

It's funny, I can get on a PTSD board and talk and talk about him with no problem... now, when I try to talk about my own issues, I'm drawing a blank.

Always easier to talk about someone else's problems than our own. That's for sure. If you need to get back on meds to function well and be happy, then do it. Why be miserable? (Of course, it should be under the supervision of a qualified doctor, and probably together with therapy -- medication without therapy is rarely a solution). Best wishes.
