Saw Psychiatrist

This is kind of unimportant, but for anyone curious...
I finally got in to see my psychiatrist and got medication.

Thank you for your kind answers and help... I'll probably be back.

It's not unimportant to you!

This the first medication you've been put on? Refresh my memory.

Yes! It definitely is, and its been working fantastically.
I started on 25 mg and have officially, since November, upped it to 100 mg. I found that, while my physical anxiety was gone, my mental despair wasn't.. and still isn't fully eradicated.
I obsess over things, but not so consistently. I've come to a point where living through the bouts of despair is doable and livable.
I've started going back to school since then, and it has worked wonders for my anxiety. Usually, people think staying in a dark bedroom and not doing anything is the best bet.. But that couldn't be more wrong.
I actually started fearing going back into my room at the end of the day because I was afraid my anxiety would attack. Eventually, the anxiety over having anxiety subsided.
Things just linger now, and it's generally well.

Every once a week or so something will happen that will cause my anxiety to spike, but I usually just get over it within a couple days or more.
Since November 27th i think? I started taking an 'as needed' pill too instead of continually raising the dosage of Zoloft every time I decide I can't handle it.

What I seem to forget, and I'm sure many others do too, is that: Everything comes to an end. Whether it be some peace of mind, or just being able to push thoughts aside without feeling compelled to be anxious about them..
It's easy to lose hope, and I definitely have.

Especially when I have another anxious cycle that causes me to rethink how far I've come. How this loop will never end and I won't catch a break..
It's just about living through hell until your too tired to even care.
