Thank you all for the encouragement. I feel a little better now that I've gotten up and did some laundry and worked out.

I take meds because I've always had anxiety and somtimes its crippling. I guess I have minor depression too but it is usually situational. This morning however, I felt AWFUL! Its scary to think that coming off an antidepressant can do that. Or I have really bad PMS...

I'm dealing with some things that are causing severe stress and unhappiness in my life but are partly out of my control. So when I feel overwhelmed I freak out and/or drink. I'm trying to deal with things in healthier ways but DAMN is it hard!

For those of you on ritalin, what are the side effects? Is it like caffeine?
