Hi,
Well I posted a msg here earlier,,,and did not copy it so now I
don't want to write it all over again but it never posted.

I am in need of some help,,,to put it quickly, I am alone too much
not good I know,,and suffering with anxiety, depression
etc,,,friends are lacking due to their own personal problems, that
they have told me all about of course. I have always been a sponge
and a good friend. But I am the one in need right now of some
guidance.

My counselor along with others I have gone to have not been much
help. The last time I spoke with him which was months ago,,told him
I was losing it and ready to commit myself,,,and the only way you
can get committed here is to say that you are thinking of taking
your own life,,which I wasn't going to go there with that on my
head. Anyway,,I take mild doeses of xanax, am very sensitive to
meds, have a long history of sensitivity, and do not want to start
<have tried a few> with bad reactions to antidepressants. I do not
need the added side affects of them,,,

I suffer from GAD/panic attacks/PTSD/and now the agoraphobia is
getting worse too.

Have tried to get in touch with new people here to start some form
of support or just friendships, and so far it is a very trying
situation. I did notice that you have a 12 step program Mary Ann
that you mention,,,and was wondering being I can't get together here
in Vegas for a group type setting if you could email it to me or
something.

I am desperate for some answers have read the books,,,have the
programs,,,have searched high and low for answers and help,,to no
avail...I am desperate for some advice. Finding it very hard to
believe that the "only" so called cure for this is meds,,,as I know
hundreds of people that are on meds for this and are in the same
boat I am,,,,,,,there has got to be an answer.

Please feel free to email me privately,,,or post to the group. This
time I will copy this post as I don't want to write it again.....

In Need~
God Bless~
