I recently started my own blog to chronicle my path of recovery, which I decided started about a week ago. I hate feeling like I am all alone and even though your most recent post terrifies me because once it is gone, I want it to stay away, it does give me hope to know that it can be overcome even if only briefly. I am also really interested about how you managed pregnancy and your anxiety. I would really like to start a family soon but I my anticipatory anxiety (among other things) keeps me from doing so. I would love to hear about an insights you can offer.

As someone who has been ...The meds: a definite yes. As someone who has been on and off (currently on) meds for years: there's absolutely no shame in going back on the meds. It isn't a question of "am I slipping." It's a question of accepting that you need some help (which anyone who deals with this knows happens).<br /><br />That first rough patch after a clear stretch is always a bitch. Nothing like one part of your brain reminding the other "who's boss."<br /><br />Bottom line: keep on keeping on. Even if you can only focus on 60 seconds at a time, you'd be amazed at how well it'll work.Joe Hasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14175695205163242140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9147889412798634304.post-64725798909567464282009-05-10T21:52:00.000-06:002009-05-10T21:52:00.000-06:00Katie,

I like what you said about how we can and will be ourselves again. The anxiety doesn't define who we are! Thanks for the ray of hope. :)Aiméehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07915969048532920780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9147889412798634304.post-90490515723943208382009-05-10T21:44:00.000-06:002009-05-10T21:44:00.000-06:00qtestcato,

Sometimes you just need to vent and have someone tell you everything will be alright.

My anxiety was always based on agorophobia, and being able to "get away" and get home to my safe place whenever I needed. Somewhat recently I have been having more problems with generalized anxiety. I am panicking at home, at work, freaking myself out by thinking of all the things that could go wrong. It has been really hard for me to deal with this new fork in the road of anxiety. I recently discovered your blog and it made me feel so much better knowing that there was someone out there with the same thoughts as me. Tonight when I just read your most recent posting, it brought me to tears. I also feel that horrible feeling of defeat, and that I have lost control over my thoughts and my body. It was as if reading your blog was reading my own diary, word for word. I just want you to know that your family loves you so much and they will help you however they can, and we just have to remember that these set backs do go away. There is hope! That is what I keep telling myself. This discomfort is temporary. We can, and will, be ourselves again. Thank you for being out there...Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10548894354508382814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9147889412798634304.post-32524299269086819512009-05-10T20:25:00.000-06:002009-05-10T20:25:00.000-06:00Sorry to hear that your anxiety has returned.

You should take comfort in knowing that you CAN get this under control again, and it will get better. It most likely will not be easy, but the feeling of knowing you are in control of your mind and body should give you a great sense of empowerment. Your children will be so proud of the strong woman they have for a mother. Bless you on your next journey! Happy Mother's dayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
