I got my first prescription today and the entire time I was waiting for it to arrive I was wondering how I was gonna go about telling my family that I was going to start taking anxiety meds.

Ultimately I decided to just be upfront and honest about it to them and told them what side effects to expect when I start taking it  and they were very understanding and supportive.

So now I'm beginning my life on Lexapro. I hope it helps with my social anxiety because my anxiety has always taken a large toll on me and my social life and has cost me many hardships until now.
