I agree - thanks for posting that you are on medications.
I've been on Paxil for years due to anxiety. I also started Wellbutrin recently for depression. I've been diagnosed with various forms of anxiety and depression over the years. I am going to try to go to a shrink again next month. My main problem now is that I can't sleep. The slightest noises, vibrations, or light (yes, even when my eyes are closed) will keep me up. I also sometimes stay up dwelling on things. I tend to dwell on things a lot. Right now I am dwelling on how freaking tired I am because I haven't had a normal sleep in months.
I also have been thinking a lot lately about why I feel like I don't fit in. Why I never grew out of throwing tantrums. Why I don't know what color my husband's or boyfriend's (yes, I have both) eyes are.
One of my odd defense mechanisms is that if I start to feel wierd in a conversation, I start quoting movies, songs, plays, things that famous people said. I have a very diverse and sometimes obscure knowledge of this and I think I put people off with that.
Anyway, I guess this post is getting kind of long. I should probably end this now since I want to go look at the articles and then I have to get back to work.
