About 2 months ago I started Atkins again (I'd done it for a year and lost about 80 lbs, then gained some back). Diet's going fine, I feel better physically except for some back problems I've been having. But I had anxiety attacks last spring when my dad was sent to Iraq, and eventually got on Lexapro. Dad came back, I felt better, got off the meds, and I transferred to a different university with my boyfriend this semester.
But now I work all the time, and when I'm not working I'm in class. I rarely have time to make the trip home to visit my family or to my old school to see my friends, and I'm consumed with bills and all the stress that comes with being a student, and I don't know that many folks here. I've been on edge, really paranoid - I'm driving my boyfriend and myself crazy. The lexapro helped before, but I don't know if I should get back on it. I'm just tired of feeling ridiculously sad and worrisome. Now it's late, and I can't sleep (my days off always turn into days for me to stay up late dwelling on things). Grr!
