Q: Extreme Fears Haunting My Life
asked by: paperbag on April 15th, 2007

I've been having very bad anxiety for the past 6 months. I've stopped going to school for the last 3 months because of my fear of the people there. Thats a problem.

I also have fears of going into restuarants, stores, gas stations, anywhere, when other people my age might be there. I can't sleep because I'm afraid someone is going to break into my house and rape me and I've have isolated myself lately, I think its making it worse.

I see a pyschiatrist and he perscribed me Prozac but it only makes me angry.
I don't know how to get over my fears and help the other people around me understand them.

it tells you lots of things i mean its not going to help you right off
i was scared to death to get off my medicine ive been on 8 differnt medications since i was 13 im 18 now i know i have to try something new and yes im scared im always scared im paranoid pills are in everything... i can barely eat or drink and when i do i freak out, i have almost been off meds for a week and its no joy ride but if meds dont help then why be on them, the author of that book has anxiety attacks too, and she tells alot of great things, and if u cant read when ur having a panic attack u remember what you read, and little by little it helps... and not only do i have this constant scary feeling, but my bf broke up with me that i had been with over a year for no reason, and im coming off meds its not easy, but you have to do what you have to do.]
