Well thank you so much. Just something we muddle through every day.

Hi, are you on any medications? I’m on Lexapro and it has helped. I also see a therapist and just recently realized my core issue is with my mom. So, I’m having to work through that, it is really hard emotionally but I am feeling more at peace as I do it.

Hi lynnalice,

Yes I had that same issue all my life. I had to remove her from my life as it was more painful having her in my life than out. She has since passed. Not sure other than stress what my issues are now. I take ativan am and bedtime. It usually keeps them away but lately Ive been having reflux problems and they are acting up. Ughhh. Thank you for responding

Hi, maybe an antidepressant will help. Ativan is for short term use.

Yes it is. Ive been on different antidepressants but my dr took me off them bc they had no effect on my anxiety.
