I could never be as brave as you, keep strong. Hope things work out.
Thanks LG. I have struggled with anxiety for years but always managed to hide it behind quite a tough exterior but that crumbled after losing my rock. I dont.really think anti depressants were really the answer for me as I was grieving and.not.really depressed but my doc had prescribed them more or less before I sat down. I have been on a 20mg dose and so have been told the wd will be over in around 3 weeks. Don't want to go back so will get through it.
