> Hey, I am new to this site as well. I can relate to the anxiety/panic disorder. I think at times I can also become a little OCD if I allow my anxiety to get out of hand. I have been a lot happier since my doctor put me on effexor. Now I feel I have better control. I wish I didnt need to take anything but right now it's helping. I am not sure anymore if this is a disorder I was born with or if it's because of all the crap in my past.(best friend murdered,ex husband abused me, stalked me) but I must say.... reading others experiances helps to know I am not alone. At my worst I feel I am "going crazy" "losing control" feels like I am alone and that these symptoms are just me. Its nice to know I am not alone....
I can relate to the nastiness in your past. I was abused horribly, in unimaginable ways, by both of my parents. It didn't turn me into an abuser, because even as a small child I knew it was wrong. It sent me in the opposite dirction. I am hyper-sensative to pain of any kind, and I do think that is the reason for my mental problems. Although I probably inherited a lot of those nasty genes from my parents. LOL. I'm OK until I start getting all philosophical, then I start wondering if I'm existing just for the sake of existance, and stuff like that. Eeek!
