I do not remember ever not being anxious or worrying about everything I said or did. Doctors would say I was depressed, and give me depression medication. It never worked, cause I was never depressed. When I finally ask the right questions and found the right doctor I got medication for anxiety only and it has worked wonders for me. They thought at one time I could get off of it, but the worry and anxiety came back full force. Do not like the physical or mental feeling I get when I am not on medication.
