Thank you for writing back. I know you're struggling. I'm feeling and hoping for you.
Ive been lucky with my counselors, I guess. I told the office upfront that I won't try or do medication. They were all students interns, and very sweet. I guess counseling has worked for me because I've learned to speak about myself and issues there. I am so slow to trust people and keep everything in.
Anyway, your posts show that you are insightful and problem solving, and I believe you when you say you can do better without it. It is a good way to have someone to see though.
I mentioned potassium because there have been times when my anxiety was really high, and at the same times my potassium would be very low. I would suddenly be understanding why people stop wanting to fight the struggles of life. I had no drive at all. I guess I'm just looking a quick fix to help you out but really..nutrients and minerals and vitamins are important! Especially when you have stress and anxiety, etc.
Keep keeping on, and we'll keep rooting for you
