I have suffered from anxiety since I was around 12. I was diagnosed with Depression, OCD, Social Anxiety Disorder, and later on, Anorexia. My Anxiety has crippled me for so long and has effected my social life to a large degree. When I was diagnosed with OCD, at the time, I had started to pull out my hair uncontrollably (Trichotillomania). I was always with a large group of friends in school. I lost my eyelashes, eyebrows, and most of my hair, to the point where I had to wear a wig. I would get attacked at school, teased to no end, to the point where I dropped out of school at the beginning of grade 12. I now have no connection to any of my old friends, and I have become terrified to leave the house. Lately when I have gone out, I would get weird feelings that people were watching me and following me, to the point where I felt I couldn't trust anyone. Recently I attempted suicide, and went into a drug-induced coma. I am very close to my parents and they have given me love and support throughout all my troubles. I know how much pain I have caused them throughout the years. I can't escape the feeling of guilt. I have to finish my schooling so I can get my diploma. Trying correspondance courses. I cannot concentrate on school work. I cannot get a job lately because of all the anxiety. I have tried so many drugs, it's getting hard to keep track on what I have and have not been on. Side effects on some drugs are so crippling, it gets to a point where it feels like they're not worth it. I have tried Lithium, Prozaac, Clonipramine, Paxil, Cesamet, Celexa, Luvox, Wellbutrin, Dexadrin, Effexore, IV Anafranil, ECT treatments, and I am now on Ativan, Serequel, Clonazipam, Ritalin, and a new drug, Cipralex aka Escitalopram oxalate. I'm at a loss at what to do next. My Psychiatrist is recommending Respiridol and Cognitive Behavior Therapy, which I have gone through before a few years ago. [B)]
