I finally made it through all of the hoops to get back in-WHEW! Yes, I know where Ft. Scott is, but I haven't been thru there. The closest was Nevada, MO. When I worked construction there was a job at Cottey College that brought me up that way. I just got back from Wichita a few days ago and a huge tumbleweed blew across my car-first time that ever happened. I figured I would reply to your question here-I couldn't figure out how to entwine medications with it and didn't want the "redirect".
As far as this topic:
Well, that depends on what type of anxiety it is. I have several "flavors"! The GAD or OCD-"like" stuff, etc., I can tolerate over depression fairly well. But when it comes to PANIC, now THAT's different! That MUST be taken care of NOW!
