Hello :)

Hi everyone,

I'm a 22 year old grad student and I've been dealing with anxiety for the past four years or so. I was taking Lexapro for about three years until this past summer when I decided I was well enough to stop. Well sadly, it's been a stressful time in my life since then and my stress has really just been building since then until for the past few weeks I've just felt horrible anxious all the time even when I'm relaxed. I've never been formally diagnosed with any anxiety problems, but I'm sure I have at least a mild form of GAD (and obviously a person with no anxiety problems wouldn't be taking medication for it). Anyway, I've been having some medical worries lately that I suspect are actually just anxiety and everyone else I know is sick of hearing me worry about it, so I needed somewhere else to turn. So hopefully this will be a good thing for me.
