Pretty Depressing (no pun intended)

I was recently diagnosed with manic depression and panic disorder. I never thought this would be me, but it is. I take a perscription Lexapro pill every day and I have an "emergency" panic pill like Wesley in the movie Wanted. I always used to spend my time making fun of people with this disorder. I would say "Oh, they're just looking for an excuse to see a doctor!" or "Those people just need to chill out." Well, as a matter of fact, that is the most difficult thing to do. When I get frustrated or upset or worried, it takes me hours to cool off. Now, with the aid of my medicine, I can cool down in minutes. The Lexapro, which usually takes about 2 weeks to take effect, has shown improvements in me over 6 days. Just hope, for me, that this all works out!
