I Could Really Use Some Advice
I have really been having issues eating. Solids make me want to puke and shakes make me want have to run to the bathroom for other reasons. I know a lot of this has to do with nerves and stress because I was fine before all of this crap went down at my house. I am also dealing with a lot of anxiety and feelings of panic. I have never had these issues before. I am on lexapro and wellbutrin for depression and have been for years but from what I have read they don't do much for anxiety and panic.
Then to add more anxiety to the mix I have to fly out on Friday morning for my brothers wedding. When I think about the getting on the plane I start to sweat and have a hard time breathing.
So I am going to the doctor tomorrow morning, they are working me in and unfortunately it is with a doctor in the office I don't see. I have no idea what to tell her and quite honestly as I write this I feel like I am batty as **** but I just don't know what to do and can't handle feeling anxious, panicked and on top of that not able to eat.

I take Wellbutrin and at one time my doctor had me on Pristiq. At first I felt like it helped but then I felt like it really didn't help me and I developed a terrible case of the Hives and still fighting them...finally got them manageable with an allergist. So, I asked my primary dr to put me back on Wellbutrin.....I still have mood swings but mostly depends on his drinking or not.
Hang in there! It will get better just like I know it will for me...just hoping to get some more of this weight off me and find a job sooner rather than later!!

Are you in therapy? I would suggest making an appointment with a therapist to talk about ways to cope with the anxiety. And I would tell the doctor you're doing that. But you need something to help you right now.
Please note: I AM NOT A DOCTOR. If you want medical advice, talk to your doctor. Whatever I post, there is probably some surgeon or other health care provider somewhere that disagrees with me. If you want to know what your surgeon thinks, then ask him or her. Check out my blog.
first I am glad and sorry at the same time. Glad he is out of your house (great decision) - sad - because someone you care about is ruining their life and causing you pain. Maybe he would get better.. maybe..
As for the anxiety - some that may help if you know how to - is meditation, or yoga, or reiki treatment. I would suggest acupuncture e- if you have some one you know and trust.

good luck - and congratulations on doing what you knew you needed to do - even though the right things are rarely the easy ones
