Anxiety
I don't really have any pictures to post right now but I just wanted to post a blog about my anxiety struggles that I have been having. Most of you know from reading my blogs on myspace that I suffer from anxiety and stress. I have been on zoloft now for at least six months. I was on it before and it seemed to help me better than it has this time around. So, yesterday, I was at the doctor for my yearly checkup and I talked with him about it. He asked me about some of the symptoms that I was having. People always assume that I am depressed. I am not depressed at all. I just worry about everything. And that is actually an understatement. I worry when there is no apparent reason why I should be worrying. Sometimes I can't even pinpoint what it is that is making me anxious but there it is just the same. I have one friend who hates that I take medication for this problem. I have tried techniques of all different kinds and I just can't control it. So, my doctor upped my dosage to 100mg. I was on 50mg. So, I took my first double dose tonight and now all I can worry about is if I am going to experience side effects from upping my dosage. I CAN'T SEEM TO WIN!!! I just want to be normal and live life and be happy and not stress all the time. I am hoping that upping the dosage will work. If not I don't know what I will do because it seems like as time goes on it just gets worse. At some point I am going to freak out if I have to leave the house. I just ask that you guys pray that I can overcome this and get back to being normal! (or as normal as I was anyway. ) :)
