Or above, there are natural remedies you can look into as well, that someone posted links too.  |
I went through the CBT therapy, but I don't think me and my therapist connected, if that makes sense. I have moved so now I'm looking into finding another therapist and hopefully get back on track.
I cannot imagine having to go through the worry of a major health problem during on top of trying to overcome your anxiety.
My parents are both on lexapro and said it worked wonders and they have never felt better. After 1 year of therapy and medication they are both tapering off.
I am going to try the amino acids before medication though. It's the first natural approach that I have looked into that makes any sense. At this point, meditation, eating clean and exercise hasn't even come close to helping. Maybe lifting my mood enough to function and stop obsessing, yes. But the anxiety, fear that I have of answering my phone, talking to strangers, leaving my house at all, is definitely still going strong. It's exhausting and the fact alone that I haven't done anything with my life yet because I'm terrified to go to school, is depressing.
