Hello everyone! New to posting here..

Hi, I'm new to posting here. I'm Kimmie and I look forward to learning a lot here.. I was diagnosed w/ having Generalized Anxiety Disorder and put on Prozac 10mg. day for about 3 years. About 5 months ago, I weaned myself off of my med's to see if I could "deal" w/ my life on my own. I know, what the heck was I thinking?! I have anxiety and have always had it, as long as I can remember. I tried seeing a therapist and was told that I did not need one, so I just try to deal w/ things on my own. But I feel this was a mistake and believe that talking to someone would benefit me greatly. I also know something else is keeping me back from being who I really am. I have also been diagnosed w/ having ADD. Have tried quite a few med's for that and was allergic to most of the ones I tried.

I have a problem with finishing anything I ever start. I can't remember actually ever finishing anything. My intentions are always good. I am a very good person with a huge heart. I am known to many as being a very happy person. But they don't know that I have quit every single job I have ever had, because I feel like I am going to go crazy being there. I can't explain it very well, but I can tell you that the guilt from being this way is eating me alive. I don't tell my friends, husband, family anything about any of this and my feelings. My family and I are going through some very hard times right now (financially) and I feel as though it is all my fault. I feel like a failure and am at my wits end... and I need help.

So, this is me, a short version.. I'm looking forward to finding some advice, friendship, assistance, help etc. here.

Thanks for listening.
Kimmie

hi Kimmie

oh you shouldn't feel like a failure.  If you have ADD, that could very well explain all of this.  Just a bit of hope---my brother in law has Add.  he was dx'd back when it wasn't a popular diagnosis.  I'm guessing 40-45 years ago.  You ought to hear some of the stories my hubby tells me.  Well anyway, my BIL is now a Ph.d psychologist with an MBA.  So ADD may add a few challenges but you can still get anything you want in life.

MOST anxiety happens at the subconscious level.  JUST because you don't feel consciously anxious or had a day or two of calm doesn't mean your mind & body are relaxed.  It can take months of reduced anxiety before a body goes back to a more non-reactive state.
