New to the site and hello.

Greetings;

People have taken to calling me nic in the chatroom, and I am relatively new here. I've had and do continue to have problems and am looking for all the support I can get. I don't want to write War and Peace but can give some background information. My problems began in childhood for me and I am not prepared to discuss those here. Later on in life I joined the military and it probably complicated my issues further. I am a chronic sufferer of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and social anxiety disorder. I have been on xanax for eight years now and an SSRI to combat this. My life returned pretty much to normal for several years. I went back to school and now work as a nurse. I recently thought it would be a good ideal to back off on the xanax and it didn't work out too well. I have learned that I am going to require extensive therapy and the thought of this is rather frightening to me. I see no other alternative if I am to reclaim my life, which is what I would like to do.
I suppose that is about it, I am always open to suggestions and would appreciate any input.

Thank You
