New but excited to get feedback & be able vent to people who "GET IT "

[jangar]

I have had anxiety problems since I was 19 (48 now) and my mother says it's all in my head and I enjoy it and do it for fun. I totally rely on my Xanax. Was off it for almost 2 years but I had a setback and went back on it. I'm really pissed that I'm on it again cuz I don't know how to get off of it. Anyway I encounter anxiety situations daily since my setback (had seizure before I got into my car after grocery shopping = my legs gave out) I walk dogs for a living and it is sooo hard to do it = I only go around the block now = once called my mom (always carry my cell ) and had her pick me and the dogs up when I got "stuck holding onto a tree!

Get on a SSRI

Ditch the Xanax for really bad times

The SSRI should eliminate those times

Does walking dogs really make you enough cash that you don't need another job

I need to do that if so

I live in an over 65 community where some ppl can't walk their dogs. Also, I am waiting for the disability verdict (it is VERY hard to get disb in DE where I live)

You're in the states too

Yeah, with the new screwed up insurance that we are dealing with makes everything tougher

Hope you are able

Yes what state are you in or is that too personal?

SSRI's have failed me - which ones were you referring to? Already on Buspar.

I've been applying for disability for over 2 years here. I kept getting denied (They said to get a job where you don't have to interact with people.......blah, blah, yadda, yadda) I should have just move to another state = it would be quicker. I finally did have a hearing 2 months ago so they said there would be verdict in 6 weeks - the govt. promises another lie!

Disability (I was trying for temp disability) and they told me that I'm young and that I'll probably be getting over it soon anyways. I really hate that people think that we can just stop being like this, like it a choice! People are stupid. I'm in the states too. (Indiana)

I say everyone not have a panic attack around 2:00 tomorrow! Like we CAN switch on and off!
