The problem with meds like konopin and xanax is that they cripple your ability to control your own anxiety. Then it gets to a point where every time you feel even a little anxiety your first instinct is to pop a klonopin. (Been there, done that) Like I said many times, the mental health system didn't become a 88 billion industry by helping people. Its sad and it's scary, but its true you gotta be your own best friend in this world, look out for yourself, work on yourself. And controlling anxiety will get easier as you build that cognitive skill of coping. Takes times though so don't give up and know that you are always moving forward. Luckily ya can chat with some people here who can understand.
