 I finally came to the conclusion that I need a new doctor. From listening to all of you, makes me think. I was only diagnosed with depression and anxiety. I would tell my doctors for years what was wrong with me. I used to not be able to leave the house, drive, eat at a restaurant, go to the mall, etc. I'm assuning that is agoraphibia. I have ocd. I was never diagnosed with that so I diagnosed myself. I didn't think I had it but I do. I have rituals but they're not as bad now. The paxil is helping for that. As soon as I get health insurance, I will look into a new doctor. I just needed to vent for  a little bit.

                                                         Thanks!!

Dear anxiety and depression,

            You got me today but you will not beat me tomorrow. I will beat you. Go back where you came from and leave me alone. I am stronger than you and I am in control. I know you will creep up on me out of nowhere but I am prepared, ready for battle. I am still alive and I will fight to the end. I am not crazy, you just make me think I am. I am not sad, you just make me see things diferently. I am not sick, you just cause my aches and pains. I am healthy and full of life. Quit bothering all of us, we were fine without you! You are evil and need to be stopped! We have the power, not you!!!

I recently got engaged at the end of june. My fiance is very spontaneous. I don't like surprises because they give me anxiety. I don't know if anyone else is like that, like you have to know what's going on and things need to be planned. I ended up in the er the morning of the 4th of july. I had the worst panic attack of my life! I was confused and I was screaming and yelling. I called him the wrong name and I didn't know who he was or where I was. The doctor said that I had a conversion reaction. I am scared that I am going to have one again. He said that I needed to be on medication. I started taking paxil about a month ago and it seems to be working. Anyways, my fiance was being spontaneous again and decides we should go visit his family in south carolina on sunday. I yelled at him and gave him my ring. I feel like I can't live with someone who wants to up and leave all the time. He always wants to move and I'm not good with change. I just don't understand him because he has panic attacks, too. I took my ring back after I got my point across. I feel that he is unstable. He is bipolar but he refuses to get back on meds. I keep telling him to go to the doctor. Any advice?

                                                 Thank you for listening,

                                                Jamie
