I'm so sorry you're feeling so badly. My suggestion would be for you to sit down with your doctor and mother and tell them both how hopeless and suicidal you feel (even if you know you won't do it). Suicidal thoughts are dangerous and can change quickly. You're in need of a psychiatrist and a better med therapy than just taking Xanax. Your mom was right to take you off that, but you need something to take that has less side effects. You can talk with your school nurse, too, and maybe she/he can talk with your mom. Keep talking until someone listens! Hang in there and do not give up!View Thread
I'm having a hard time concentrating on anything other than this storm. I'm afraid and I come up with all kinds of scenarios in my head...all the bad things that could happen...like a tree falls onto the house, power outages that lasts weeks, etc. Any ideas on how to handle this anxiety?View Thread
