and i am freaking out. my therapist, mother and partner agree that i need to be put on somwthing because i am constantly in a state of unease. i'm nervous to ask for a benzo to go along with an ssri because my mother warned me that her ssri made her anxiety worse before it got better. i don't want them to think i'm a drug addict, i can just barely function as it is. does anybody have any advice? i'm nervous as hell.
