That's what brought be here, this place is the only place I know of that's pro-marriage and believes that troubled marriages can be saved. Everyone else says to throw in the towel including most counselors.

I may need some anxiety meds, have others tried those?


Yes, I'm on Viibryd and it was a life-saver. It's A/D and anti-anxiety. I can tell you I was having extreme anxiety attacks, I've never had them in my life until BD, and the Viibryd completely stopped them. Unfortunately it took about 4 weeks for the meds to really stabilize and get me to a good place. Almost all of them take that long. In the meantime they can prescribe you temporary anti-anxiety pills to take whenever an attack comes on. I was taking them a few times a week, then about once a week, then eventually not at all. I've never been a proponent of taking med's for stuff like this, but I was in really, really bad shape and at the end of my rope. I am amazed at what a difference it made. PMA is really important in these situations, and in my case A/Ds were critical in getting me a real PMA and not just a pretend one as it was for a while.
