    I know, believe me. And so do so many others reading this. I reread my diary this weekend, and it was horrible to see just how scared I was. I was worried that I wouldn't come out of it, that the anxiety and general ickiness were here to stay with me forever. I was worried that I would be one of the minority that the drugs just wouldn't work for.

    And forums like these are both a blessing and a curse. Generally, even though there are exceptions, people mainly post when they're feeling bad, or overwhelmed, or having problems. Most people who aredoing okay or even getting better just carry on with their lives, so we get to only see one side of the coin.

    When I was where you are now, I was desperate for reassurance. And I got it, especially from @katecogs. And it was enormously important to me at that time. That's why I'm here now.

    You're not alone, and what you're going through (as hideous as it is) is normal. But it passes. It gets better. And you're 23 days closer to getting there. Good luck. Keep sharing, ride out these waves, and you'll get there.
