if the AD helps, then take it. you are not a sinner because you can't control your anxiety. the worst with anxiety is that it interferes with your sleeping and eating, and when you don't sleep and eat properly your anxiety gets worse. it's a vicious circle.
it sounds like therapy might help. i also feared being "locked up" for being "crazy", but did some research and found out that unless i am a danger to myself or others they can't lock you up.
sending hugs




and i hope things get better for you.
