I have no idea what is wrong with me. I went to my primary care and he was ready to provide some anxiety meds and behavioral therapy but wanted me to wait a little longer.

It started last Monday. Maybe it was building up before then. But Monday afternoon when stressing about a paper, I just collapsed. I started worrying about the most random things. Finding a job, passing the BAR, retirement, where I’ll live, if my family will be poor, etc, etc. I have never worried about anything seriously in my life. But I was flipping out. I started crying in school. Calling my girl friend crying.

Anyway I thought the three items that have affected me are: two projects and finding a summer job. I found a summer job, after multiple rejections. The two projects are due next week, but I am on the right track with them.

But I am still freaking out. I am looking up how to pass the bar. Worrying about classes I never worried about it. The anxiety isn’t as bad itself, but now I have physical symptoms.

The worst is the morning. Every morning I wake up with a terrible vomit feeling. My doctor prescribed something to calm down my stomach but I haven’t taken it yet.

To add to it, I don’t feel like doing anything. I haven’t worked out in two weeks, and while I usually feel good at night, the morning’s to mid-afternoon are awful. It’s taking a toll on me and my girlfriend.

So here are my questions:

1. Does this sound like I am suffering from an anxiety disorder and/or depression? And how long does this usually last?

2. If I get prescribed some sort of Xanax, Lexpro, will I be able to function and study normally?

3. Could my morning sickness somehow be something else and how do I get it to stop?

Thank you.
