update  8 weeks on lexapro.  difference from the start. sleeping much better, still getting anxiety dreams.  not obsessing as much on health. definately not on  edge like before. couldn't sit in a chair. . still have anxiety but its not as bad. trying to figure it out now with a therapist. doing relaxation meditation exercises dailey.  listen to  postive affermations.  therapist doctor say i can get over this anxiety if we follow the program, doing a jornal now on when i feel anxiety. whats going on. you learn alot about  whats bothering you. so you can work on it,.  so hopefully can get this anxiety level down to a normal level. most of the physical stuff is gone also. i was shaking bad before the lexapro. muscle ache twitching , weird nerve stuff. pretty much gone completely, except for the anxiety and a little fatigue. hope everyone else is getting better all the time.

Keep on going down the path you are going...you are confronting it..that is great!  It DEFINITELY is not easy; facing your fears and accepting the anxiety never is, but with each passing session, you start to learn a lot about yourself and the condition.  Keep doing what you are doing!

I am glad that you are progressing so well!  You are still doing all the right things in my opinion.  You have taken control and decided to confront it by gaining the knowledge and the knowhow to confront this.  Just remember to focus on the long term if you have short term setbacks; don't get too discouraged because there is always bumps along the road in any challenge we undertake...keep on doing what you are doing and keep us posted!
