Ive been having really bad anxiety for the past two years
My doctor recommended exercise. Sounds trite, but it made a 100% difference just from 2 1/2hr workouts a week. I do Kung Fu and also, meditation, which has also made a drastic improvement.
My anxiety is due to low blood sugar as well as PMDD-a severe form of PMS. If you're noticing it comes at certains times, might want to check that out. Good luck-you're not alone!!!!
Are all these people who tell you NOT to go on the medication experts on medication? Are they doctors? Do they know what they are talking about from real life experience treating people or studying medicine?
I'll bet they are not. There is a horrible misconception about psychological drugs and mental illnesses in this country, and that misconception is causing hundreds of thousands of people to needlessly suffer. To make matters worse, there are a lot of nutcases out there preaching how bad these drugs are, but almost without exception these people fall under one of two groups: religious fanatics (like scientologist Tom Cruise), and people who used the drugs improperly.
Not only have drugs worked for people I know, they have worked very well for a LOT of people I know. I can honestly say that medication saved my wife's life (she is bi-polar), and totally changed around the life of my best friend, who was suffering from OCD and depression. These drugs practically performed miracles on these people.
That said, psychological medication is not a perfect science. It is not like taking an aspirin for a headache, and you're all better. Perhaps that is why there is so much misunderstanding about it. People simply do not understand how mental illness works, and they do not understand how the drugs work. It is often a trial-by-error kind of a thing, and the drugs DO have side effects. The very best thing you can do is to discuss it with your doctor. Your DOCTOR is the expert on these drugs. Not your friends. Not your family. Not your neighbors... unless one of them happens to be a psychiatrist or something.
