Just wanted to give alittle support. Always remember that you are not alone. There are so many of us that understand what you are going through. I also wanted to comment on the meds question. I have been taking Luvox for about a year. It helped a bit, but still had tons of anxiety. Didn't like taking xanax much because it makes me real tired and I have three little ones to run after. Anyway, about two months ago, I went to the doctor and instead of increasing my dose of Luvox, the doctor decided to suppliment it with another medication. So, I started taking Effexor, and it has made a world of difference. Not only does it help to release from the thoughts, it also helps level out my anxiety. And, I didn't realize it before, but once starting the combination of the two meds, I must have been mildy depressed. I feel alot better. Not that I don't have rough days, but nothing like it was before. I can go a week without much more than an hour or two of obsessing rather than two or more hours a day. Just thought I would share that. Both of the meds made me quite tired when I first started them. But, I stuck it out for a couple weeks, and don't feel it much now. Take care...
