I anwered this, then felt the post was too long and rambling, so I deleted it. Anyway, I've been taking Buspar for the past three months; I also went to a counselor for a few meetings--cognitive behavior therapy. She recommended keeping an anxiety journal, at the same time every day I was to write for half an hour about what made me anxious, what did I feel. I followed that for about two months. I also have panic attacks which are a separate problem and, I think, much harder to deal with. In the meantime, with the anxiety and panic, somehow I still manage to get out of the house and do things, I still work (just part-time thought). I just work through the panic attacks. I force myself to go out, and it's not always pleasant or comfortable, but it is getting easier. I was against Buspar at first, but now I realized that I needed that extra help to get me started on the right track.
