I took my first dose of 25mg of Anafranil as you guys suggested to do :) (thanks) and the jaw clenching is pretty bad but i havent really noticed many more side effects. I hope i can handle this med. Going to go up to 50mg in another 2 days time, then to 75mg in another 3 days time after that to be at the dose the doctor wants me on.
My anxiety is WAY down today for some reason and I had a really stressful day. Actually I still had a lot of anxiety but no where near as bad as its been lately. Im feeling pretty good today and it is really strange because so many bad things have just happened and I have so much to worry about. I am extremely worried about my Cousin and Grandfather. My Cousin tried to kill herself a few days ago and ever since her Dad died she has been extremely depreseed but would not seek treatment. I took her to the doctors today (which i have been trying to do for years) and got her a referal to a psychatrist. But I told her if she is still suicidal she needs to be in hosptial, I really dont know what to do as Im scared she will try it again and I dont know if she should be in hospital now or not (the GP didnt seem to think so). I also took my Grandfather today to see the specialist about his last operation (he has cancer) and they didnt get it all so he has to have more surgery. I really wish he is ok, hes going through hell at the moment.
Plus, this is only minor in the scheme of things, im having major trouble at university lately in regard to assignments and getting to class. Arghh. Seeing the uni disability advisor guy in a week I hope he can sort some things out.
Anyway thanks for reading, I just wish everything with my family works out ok. (hope you guys are all ok too of course :)
Take care everyone.

Also another thing, i dont know if this happens to many of you. my sister is so unsupportive. she basically doesnt want anything to do with me since i was diagnosed with bipolar and so on. she thinks i will hurt her kids!!!!!! or give it to her kids, or something really stupid like that!!!!!! arghhh it upsets me :(
Why are people like this? especially family? she wont even see my grandfather and he has cancer!!!!

Sorry to interrupt, but I'd like to redirect follow-ups regarding family to Psycho-Babble Relationships. Here's a link:
