Prayer
Hi, I'm sorry to hear you are feeling this way. I can offer a prayer of support for you. My anxiety happens in the car but it seems like it's getting a little worse too. What helps me is praying to God and calling on the name of Jesus.. that's when I notice I calm down a bit---it's scary because sometimes I just want to get out of the car (like now!) when my husband is driving or we're at the stop light. But just thinking about going downtown or out of town makes me nervous. Hopefully I will see a counselor this week. Last week my doctor subscribed Xanax (I don't like taking pills) but I haven't gotten them yet...I took one in February before we got on the road to travel from Florida to Georgia after visiting my dad and his wife..(my dad's wife had a few pills with her) and I didn't have any panic attacks on the way back. I pray that things will get better..just keep calling on the name of Jesus. Hugs to you. Lrichards

Close ADHD / ADD
My son is 6yrs old and in Kindergarten. He started having trouble with school within a month or two of starting. We have done IST meetings and finally after Christmas started on the road to a diagnosis of ADHD. We are currently still going through the process and should hopefully be on a treatment plan shortly. I am happy to have a reason for his behavior but that doesn't stop me from getting overwhelmed and tired.
Close Bipolar Disorder

- took a while to get to my correct dose but once I did my mind became clear.
- Seroquel Working / Worked
- I can't take more than 100mg at night because I have trouble functioning the next day if the dose is higher. It seems to help.
