These things are the suggestions my therapist told me to do to have control in my life and keep moving forward. I just don’t think I’m ever gonna fix this problem. Ugh.

That’s all I guess.

I am sorry you are going through this. No fun.

I imagine your T gave you some coping skills?

I feel strongly that when anxiety continues on like you are describing, it is time to consider a benzo. I say this because as anxiety continues and progresses, people can start having anxiety attacks. These levels and the frequency of anxiety attacks can become self-perpetuating. If this occurs, things continue to spiral out of control.

Your pdoc might use a totally different class of meds for anxiety and that is fine, definitely worth a try. The sooner you have intervention, the better.
I am sure you feel like you'd like intervention ASAP!

I hope you feel better soon!
