Hello everyone,
I have suffered from trauma-related anxiety for more than 10 years now.
I completed a course of therapy, which did help a great deal, but still, after all these years and therapy, anxiety and sleep issues are still inhibiting me in everyday life and in pursuing my goals in life.
I feel something dramatic needs to change in my brain in order for me to be able to go about life as I would wish.
For this reason, I am wondering if medication could be an option.
Does anyone have experience, positive or negative, with anxiety/sleep medication? Would you recommend it or not?
Another idea I have had is giving meditation a much bigger focus in life, in order to achieve a constant level of calmness.
I do meditate, but I feel in order to be calm like a normal person, I would need much more practice. Possibly even a Buddhist teacher.
Has anyone thought about it or has experience with it?
Thank you for your help!
