To medicate or not to medicate?
I am having some horrible problems with anxiety (as I'm sure most of us are) and I was wondering how you all feel about anxiety medication? I was previously on a low dose of ativan but my AH decided to take all of them and I never went back to get more, as I knew this would happen again. Well, now he is in jail and I have no idea when he will be coming home. I am seeing a therapist, but my anxiety is through the roof every single day. I cannot focus on ANYTHING. I feel like I have ADD or something because my mind jumps so often. I know this is caused by the enormous amount of stress I am under and I am just struggling with whether or not I should seek out medical assistance for the problem. How do you all feel about this subject? I obviously have a big fear of addictive substances thanks to AH, but I am finding it impossible to maintain daily life right now. I can't even read right now and that was my go to stress reliever. Help!
