A lot of us learned anxiety at an early age - like me...sometimes it feels more comfortable to be anxious..I know I am in trouble when I feel frozen in anxiety..cannot sleep - (even w/meds). I get mad.. I cry at the drop of a hat. I feel no hope...cannot eat....if this lasts more than a couple weeks - time for me to see the pdoc. I recently went through this - with career issues. They adjusted my meds - some talk therapy... and I feel better - the problems are still there but my brain is coping better - not saying meds are for everyone - you have to learn tools for coping!!!!

“Psychotherapy works by going deep into the brain and its neurons and changing their structure by turning on the right genes. The talking cure works by "talking to neurons," and that an effective psychotherapist or psychoanalyst is a "microsurgeon of the mind" who helps patients make needed alterations in neuronal networks.” Norman Doidge
