With the day you just described it's no wonder you were stressed. Good Grief.

Shame on your mom for discounting the benefit of medication to help alleviate a real problem. My daughter suffers from social anxiety disorder and was recently prescribed Xanax. The doctor put her on the lowest strenghth pill. She's found that by only taking 1/2 of one pill when she knows she's going to be in a situation that will make her panic she can relax a bit and get through it.

By all means, go back on the meds. You can't keep living the way you are.
