Wugh I just sounded like my therapist. :(
I won't say leave him, run away or anyhthing like that. People used to bet that my husband and I wouldn't make it another 6 months, but we did. First we had drugs in common, then we quit and both started growing in separate directions, and then when we got to love ourselves we were able to love eachother. /ramble

Has there ever a point in time, in the past where you were a carefree person, without any of this medication, is it the medication that makes you really anxious, or have you always been a shy sort of person. I hope I aint offending you by asking stuff like this, I just want to try and understand.

I was very shy growing up, found sports and found out I was good at them, and got my self esteem through that. Definitely didn't get it from my home life. My mom was there, but she made it clear that I was the devil's spawn and she was just waiting for me to crack. So of course I cracked, started doing every self destructive thing I could, and I am still doing it to this day. IRL I am outspoken, I can even seem a bit agressive I suppose. Meds have calmed me down a ton, but I still feel like I walk a thin line, you know? I don't have many friends, I don't want them. I hate having people depend on me, I can't stand it. I burn bridges more than I should, and for reasons that are silly.
I am also an online psychiatrist, so take what I say with a grain of salt. lol I can't help myself sometimes. ;)

And before I open and run the clinic, I need to spend a few years doing the front-line service delivery such as counseling clients (addicts, but it seems so much more humanizing to refer to them as "clients," don't you think?) That is what the extra college training is for. I already have a Bachelor's Degree in Public Administration which will help with grant-writing, etc.
Any-who, I think you would make a superb rehabilitation counselor.
So would your_w0rst_bet and ccatsunflower.
