Thanks for all the responses!! I finally got an appointment today -- actually I got two and one doctor is getting me in Monday..
I'm almost excited to go and get some professional advice about my anxiety problems. I just thought it was pms for awhile, but then it seemed like I just wasn't cooping as well as other people did.
A little about me - I'm an only child, with very supportive parents who are both wonderful, but sometimes I think they were so supportive that I get the feeling they are all I have. No one has ever been able to be there for me like that and make me feel safe.
About 11 months ago, my relationship of 4 years ended -- I found out he cheated on me while I was on vacation with a friend. Problem is he just recently admitted that he actually did cheat, the whole time I just thought I'd done something to drive him away, but it turns out it was all in him... I went to a therapist a few months back to find some closure and I'd say I did, but now it all seems like its coming back again.. the anxiety, the depression, the lack of motivation and the feeling like I'm alone in the world. I've always had a major fear of abondonment and the breakup didn't help things..
I wanted to write a little more this time, as I've seen all the posts and everyone being so supportive and hope that opening up will help me to be more a part of the group.
Thanks everyone for all your posts and I hope I can be there for people in the future too.
