Hi Bella ! So good to hear from you. I have not seen it yet - I am not agoraphobic, but I have trouble at the theater. I know that you can do it ! It will be worth it to see the movie. I understand that it is really hard, but I have so much faith in you ! Once you get out the door, you will be just fine. I think you will enjoy yourself - do you have someone to go with you ? That would be great - you might feel a little more secure. Either way, I know you can do it ! I am feeling well, and I am on a new medication that is really helping. I do have a job, but I have not started yet. I am very nervous about it. Yes, meditation helps me a lot because it is quiet and relaxing. Have you tried it ? Deep breathing along with quiet always helps me. Since I am bipolar, noise can really bother me at times. It can be quite a challenge. Let me know how it goes - I am cheering you on !

Hello Bella, What I did was a week before I started taking my zoloft, all the strange feelings I would have from my anxiety I would say to myself that if I was taking my zoloft I would blame that strange feeling on my zoloft. But I couldn't cause I wasn't on zoloft yet so it was my anxiety.
I took a 25mg and cut it in half, then I took the 12.5mg and cut that in half then I even cut the 6.25 and cut it in half and put every piece in my pill box and would just lick the dust from the zoloft off my fingers. I did that for about a week then I started taking the 6.25mg for about 2 wks then moved up to 12.5 for about 2 weeks. I took it very slow. And as soon as I took it I would get very nervous and think that I was having side affects. But you know as well as I they don't get into your system in just 2 minutes. It seems like once I got started I decided I've made it this far and refuse to turn back. I kept picturing myself curled up in a ball on my couch not being able to do anything at all cause of my anxiety. Every time I thought of that it gave me more motivation to take my pill. And alot of positive motivation from here helped too. Like I said, every time I thought I was having a side affect I just told myself it was my anxiety doing it. It's getting to the point that I'm thinking "What have I been so afraid of this whole time?" Taking this pill is easy.
My prayers are with you. I hope you can try like I did. Just keep positive. I thank the Lord for the people who have the knowledge to be able to make medication to help other people like me live a normal life.
Take care and my prayers are with you. -
