> Curious as therapist said I have so many fears could almost be bordering on paranoia but so much is happening so fast in my life. A life overload. How best to get over it? Any suggestions. Surgery less than two weeks so no med changes now. Thanks Phillipa
Hi Phillipa,
it doesn't sound very professional to me for your therapist to be saying that.
Maybe a new therapist?
And of course if you have anxiety about justifiable fears - bad stuff that you're not imagining, stuff that's really going on in your life now, then that's not paranoia. That's just rational fear.
Try some Xanax short term is my suggestion. I even feel better just having the bottle around "just in case". That way I'm not taking it too often.
Good Luck :)
