I have gad and panic D/o so I’m not blowing smoke up your butt. I’m just trying to help. Meds are only 50% of the solution. Even with my meds I take now? I woke up to a panic attack today and had to self-regulate with coping skills. This would be a good topic for therapy.
Hope you feel better soon. Don’t just wait on meds-take your health into your own hands and tackle that anxiety with some self care.

What if someone practices self-help techniques, truly uses them, and they help, say...about 25% out of 100%. And meds (consistent use) do help, but about 50%. So you're left with 25% of living with sheer hell (anxiety/panic). Then what?
