"my anxiety symptoms before lexapro

i was always paranoid of people judging me and just wasn&#039;t myself because i always felt panicked.  i would socially isolate myself from friends and family, which then drove me into depression.  my anxiety inhibited myself from learning and grasping new knowledge because i was too anxious to even learn.  even doing the smallest tasks (paying bills) would cause an overwhelming amount of anxiety.



now (after 4 weeks on 10 mg)

- i&#039;m mellow, feel confident. someone i just met pegged me as an intellect! god knows how long anxiety has made me doubt my intelligence.  i&#039;m able to do tasks easier, which has reduced my procrastination.  it hasn&#039;t completely reduced my depression, but im thinking of trying 20 mg."
