Also, I go to therapy every 1-2 weeks, run, yoga, used to take lexapro until it made me gain weight, have a dozen of Dr Bach's, etc. Trying to find other solutions. Halp!

Stay on lexapro, the weight is better than having a kayne west style break down. Trust me, I have been there.

My girlfriend has been on Lexapro for close to ten years, and is trying to get off it. It's s living hell. Taken a year, without working, to get from 20 to 10 mg. I'd try all other options first, but if you have to - then just be aware of a very lengthy withdrawal process.

If it weren't for her, I'd probably be on it too, but I'm just too afraid of the side effects. My main issue however, is anxiety/panic attacks, so I guess benzo's are more up my alley.

I've gotten the Deloitte D launch orientation survey. Me start date is on the 16th (less than 2 weeks).

I need to put in my 2 week notice and all my recuiter has said is I can push your start date out. Has anyone been thru this ? Does getting the D launch orientation email imply everything is good with background/employment checks

My first appointment with a therapist to help manage my anxiety was canceled at the last minute... just what i need after spending days preparing for this session 🙄

My anxiety has snowballed in the past month and I’m really struggling. If you think about that feeling of nervousness you feel when you’re about to walk into a job interview.. that’s how I feel all day every day. I’m suddenly nervous/anxious about EVERYTHING, even when I’m not thinking about anything. It’s to the point where last night I couldn’t fall asleep bc my heart wouldn’t stop racing in nervousness but there’s nothing I could/should have been nervous for. Has anyone else experienced this?
