LESS THAN A WEEK. Not ready at all. Yeah I knew I'd be nervous but I don't think I should be THIS nervous. I am TOO nervous. I am a walking panic attack. I can't eat, I can't sleep, I cry at the drop of a hat, I've even felt like cutting. I.AM.NOT.READY. Everyone tells me I won't feel ready even though I am. THEY ARE WRONG. It's one thing to not

Even if you doubt yourself, I have a great deal of faith in you. And I'm always there to help you out.

Have you asked your shrink for something for short-term anxiety releif?

I'm on an over-the-counter anxiety medication that, though it does not have the force of xanax, does work very well in calming me down. I have taken xanax-type medications and I don't particularly like them because they are so addictive and well, when they kick in it's like being hit by a tidal wave. Though in some instances that's probably best...Anyway, I can increase this gentle over the counter medication (which I highly recommend by the way, it's called Inositol) and my mother has xanax around for emergencies. This doesn't quite feel like a xanax situation though, because, like I said the feelings are constant and xanax is more helpful during an emergency panic attack. But I will of course mention the anxiety to my psychiatrist and see what he recommends.
