Yeah knowing I'm not the only one in this situation does make me feel a lot better! As for meds, I no longer take them due to past issues, so I am looking to deal with this without having to take anything.
Even very small issues, like on here for example when someone my say something that could be interpreted wrong, I get in a stress. Even over the most minuscule thing. So I've been trying to use that to practice keeping calm, or try and think more rationally, basically saying to myself 'what the hell are you stressed over? Toughen up!'.
