    I’m sorry to hear that. My daughter has major anxiety issues to the point that she was unable to cope with a small lunch party we took her to with about 10 strangers. We’re taking her to a psychiatrist soon to see if she can help with medication.

      Drugs helped me a lot. I never got much out of therapy (maybe I’m the asshole, but I think most of what I’m anxious about is very reasonable), but antidepressants just make me feel more like me. The come-up can be really rough, but once they’re established you start feeling more like a person and less like a Rube Goldberg machine of sensory torture.
