Thank u so much for responding i will try the half of ativan tonight after my niece gets picked up. I havent seen a counseler or anything because i have no insurance and am currently unemployed. Im also nervous about developing a dependency on pills thats why i shy away from them. I notice at night is usually when my anxiety is at its worse, its always been like that since i was a child but until today when i found this site did everything really start coming together and making sense. I always just thought i was half crazy. I have not been diagnosed by a dr for anxiety but fron reading all these different forums i feel content at the moment that i may really not be crazy and there is a word for the way i think/feel half the time. I hope i can find a way to be able to deal with it temporarily until i can overcome it. I just need a little bit of guidance.
