Regarding the suicide comments on this--according to my doctor, increased thoughts of suicide seem to most often occur in teenagers and people who were misdiagnosed with depression. I don't remember what I was on, but the doctor I had until I was sixteen spent five minutes in the room with me and gave me a perscription for anti-depressants--I was simply emotionally fragile, and had never considered suicide or injuring myself. After three days on the medication, I came into school asking people to kill me. Needless to say, they took me off that fairly quickly. My mom's been on an anti-depressant for years, though, and has stories about how she used to feel. She's a lot better now, and very in control of her life. I think she went on it before she met my dad, though, so I can't really ask him about changes. XD; But by what you're describing, I'm sure the medication will work wonders for you. =) Good luck with all this. It'll feel a lot better when you're not so anxious about everything.
