Allright:

So about three weeks ago, I was informed that i would not likely be getting funded for my last year of graduate work--which sent me into a talespin of anxiety, fear, anger, etc. While I have since been able to figure out a survival strategy for my last year--I still can't seem to shake the funk I've gone into...I'm having small panic attacks (which I have a history of--though not for almost two years) and have just been really moody when I'm alone. I'm trying to find ways to cope but it's tough.

I've been involved in a meditation-stress-reduction class for awhile (and prior to the shit hitting the fan) and that has helped a little. Being around friends and my lady have also been good...but despite it, and despite the fact that I have alot I should still be thankful for I still feel emotionally stuck and wondering what to do? More meds (i take clonopin right now)? More therapy? Or should I just try to ride it out? Help/Suggestions are appreciated.
