    Dear Anita and Inky

    You’re probably right. And it’s because of my anxiety. Couple of days ago I was chatting on some page in English and suddenly someone sent me a message in my language, translated. I freaked out how someone would know where I come from and I’m thinking about it since. I keep telling myself it can probably be explained in some way but the panic is back. life is so hard with this anxiety and panic. trying to take your advice and calm down.

    Dear anna1290:

    If I understand correctly, someone sent you a message in your first language and a thought occurred to you that this someone saw your pictures on the internet. Immediately you felt fear. When you read that person’s message, there was nothing in the message about pictures, but the fear stayed with you.

    Did I understand correctly?

    Yes, it had nothing to do with the other thing with pictures, but I have this fear that someone is .. following me or stalking me, I know it sounds irrational. Yesterday in a shop some guys were making jokes and laughed and I got scared and then I noticed they were laughing at their coworker. when I’m at home I imagine someone maybe sees me through my  window and I turn off the lights. I have this fear of someone stalking me, I don’t know why. It overwhelms me.

    Dear anna1290:

    You wrote on page one that you used to take Xanax- did a medical doctor/ psychiatrist prescribe you with it, and If so, were you ever prescribed any other psychiatric drugs?

    Were you diagnosed with an anxiety disorder, OCD or the like?

    Yes a psychiatrist used to prescribe it to me over 2-3 years in 2010-2013, also some time after this. He did because I felt anxiety and had fever because of it, could not sleep. But he didn’t take time to diagnose or anything. He wasn’t focused on that. The visits lasted 10 minutes or so. He gave me prescriptions for 3 or 5 at once.

    Dear anna1290:

    Maybe it is time to visit a competent, quality psychiatrist this time, one who will spend enough time with you, over a few sessions perhaps,  in person, ask you questions, listen to your answers, diagnose you maybe, and suggest a different psychiatric medication, perhaps one of the SSRI drugs. These (some of the brand names are Prozac, Zoloft, Luvox and Lexapro) are way less addictive than Xanax.  SSRIs are prescribed not  only for depression but also  for OCD and other manifestations of anxiety.

    I don’t think we talked about psychotherapy, did we???
