Hey Arrianna! Thank you for your support-it means a lot! I'm trying to persist with school, it just takes some really, really hard motivation to get me going a lot of the times lately, but once I get going-I'm fine. I'm really afraid of success a lot too. Don't know why though.
What were you going to school for may I ask? There have been many times I dropped out and I still have my days now when I feel like taking a leave of absence. I feel like you do, like I need to get my inner and outer stabilized more, but that could take me forever lol ,so I just do the best I can and hope for the best-but it's really up to me. The insomnia on Lexapro is getting much better! The depression has lifted a little and when I do get depressed, I'm able to think about the causes and think about how I can deal with it and accept it. It still hurts, but at least I'm not feeling as hopeless. I'm glad you're feeling better since you went up to 10mg-sounds as if 7.5 wasn't helping enough with your anxiety? How was/is your appetite now on Lexapro?
I don't get so much anxiety, more depression.
Keep me posted too:-)
*one day at a time* ;o)

> Hey Gal! Great to hear that things are going well for you: you sound really positive!! I really want to give you credit for your determination and persistence with school. That is great! Keep it up: I was going to school before I withdrew in 2001 due to stress and being overwhelmed. I plan on (hope to) go back once my life (inner and outer) are stable again. (One day at a time).
> Well, I started cutting down to 7.5 mg. of Lex, which was going okay, yet I've been starting to notice some slight anxiety doing that, so last night I went back to 10 mg. So far, so good. Are your side effects getting better? Once mine went away, things got better. It seems that everything is coming more natural for me now- the way it's suppose to be. I'm still a little tired and out of it in the morning, but that goes away.
> Anyway, really great to hear your positive attitude! Keep me posted.
