Oh, sweetie pie, I'm so sorry life is picking on you right now. Don't worry about crying on the phone -- I'm sure they've heard worse!! Plus it will help communicate to them that they need to take you seriously. I mean if you were laughing and cracking jokes they'd hardly think you needed an anti-anxiety med, now would they??!!

BTW, a quick story about how well meds like Xanax work. In February I was down at my mom's condo in Hilton Head, SC, visiting her. Getting there involves a ride in a small plane from Charlotte, NC. The day I was supposed to leave on that small plane, there was a bad rainstorm and the wind was blowing so hard that the palms were kinda blowing sideways like you see on tv when they're reporting on hurricanes. I took one look out the window and was instantly convinced that if I got on that small plane that day in that weather, I would die, that the plane would crash. I knew it beyond a shadow of a doubt as if it had already happened.

I had just taken a Xanax but it hadn't kicked in yet. Half an hour later, I looked out the window again. It was still raining and blowing just as hard, but it was NO BIG DEAL!! Absolutely no feeling of dread, not even a little nervous. Instead, I knew deep down that everything would be fine, that the airline wouldn't fly if it wasn't safe, that this wasn't a hurricane, just a little rain.

It was all the biochemistry in my little brain!! Thank God for pills!!
