It does get better.

Hi all,
I started my journey a month ago when weeks of stress led to a complete mental breakdown filled with anxiety attacks, not sleeping and a whole lot of crying. I woke up one Tuesday morning, rolled over and told my boyfriend that we had to get to the nearest emergency room before I lost my mind. Thankfully, living in New York City I had a lot of choices and I walked into the ER of the hospital that is ranked #1 in the city (maybe larger scope?) for mental health care. Sitting in the Psych ER was probably my worst nightmare but I'm so glad I did it. After speaking with a doctor they put me on Zoloft and Klonopin which after two weeks ended up making me worse. I went back to the hospital sobbing and begging for relief and was placed on 10mg of Lexapro. All I can say is thank god. Now 16 days later I finally have relief. Yes, the first two weeks were hell filled with a foggy mind, sleepiness and constant vomiting. But then, it stopped and came the relief I so badly needed. I know it's hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel but please know that it's there and will come. Be patient and know you're not alone. Xo, Kate
