"That is me"
by: Yolanda

After reading Jessie's story, I thought to myself "That is me." Since the birth of my son 4 years ago, I have had issues with anxiety and "paranoid thoughts." I too believe that any illness that I have is an automatic death sentence, which of course is not the case. I would search Web MD and the worst possible scenario that was listed, I assumed that applied to me. The anxiety finally came to a screeching halt when I called my mother crying and told her I was convinced I had cancer and was going to die. I told her I was going to make out a will and name her as my son's guardian- I sounded like a raving idiot! My mother had enough and insisted on going with me to my doctor's appointment. Since I have a history of this type of behavior, the Dr. wasted no time in prescribing me Zoloft. I have since had to have my dosage increased. I am so ashamed that I have to take medication just to function normally. Hopefully one day, I will be able to function without the use of medication. By the way, I do not have cancer and I am not going to die. I found out I have Interstitial Cystitis, which is very treatable.
