When I was your age, Cara, I saw a therapist too for anxiety. It helped ALOT so stick with it. My dad was an alcoholic so alot stems from that but my anxiety came out in my early 20's. I went to some stress management groups and got through it all. I still have anxiety to this day but not NEAR as bad. Like I can't drive by myself long distances. I need someone with me then Im fine. I make my sister come with me to the dermotologist each year for my appointment and it's only about 35 miles from my house. I've always been spoiled and had a job only 6 or 7 miles from where I live. Someday I'll make myself do it....until then....I guess I'm not going very far huh!
I've never offically had an anxiety attack but I've been close. I've learned to talk myself out of it. My dad suffers from anxiety and panic attacks real bad. Since he stopped drinking (He's a recovering alcoholic, almost 20years)he noticed his anxiety more since the alcohol hid the problem. He needs medication. Thank goodness I caught mine soon enough and I didn't need any but there is nothing wrong with having to take medication either. If it gets you through then you have to take it.
If you are like me you will make it through your buying your new house, having babies, worrying about them then and many more issues. You have a long road ahead of you and just enjoy the new marriage and new house for a few years. I've learned a lot since I've been married. All GOOD!
You are your husband make such an adorable couple!
