So...I started a new medicine in February. It started off slowly, pushing away the terrors, the over-reaction to random sounds, shadows on the walls. Then the nightmares stopped.  I realized about six weeks ago I didn't want to hide under the blankets anymore, didn't want to sleep all day. All nice changes, but nothing that any other medicine hadn'

Yeah, it's nice when you finally find the right drug isn't it? I've battled depression and anxiety off and on for my entire life, and have been on many medications that started out great only to end up being ineffective or fraught with side effects. It's a hard thing, but so much better than settling for existence over really living.

You and I really need to hang out sometime.

I've battled it off and on too; quite strong off and on. Finally, I opened up enough to the right doctor and we figured out together that I have a minor case of bipolar disorder. I feel amazing.

We really should. I'm fairly free on weeknights and Saturdays, if you don't mind hanging out with kidlet. Maybe we could watch Doctor Who together? What do you think of Donna?

That's great!!!! I myself suffer from anxiety disorder. Generally it's fairly mild but I had a rough time of it last year after my miscarriage. I tried some meds but the side effects were really bad. What worked for me was the counseling. I'm now only going when I feel I need it. But it took a lot for me to admit I had a problem. I'm so glad I did.
So good luck and I'm happy for you and proud of you!! If you need to talk, I'm here at least by email or phone any time.
