Tried lots of different meds cant seem to find the one for me, if there is such a thing. Every dr ive been to even the ones in the crisis units and psych wards (sorry if i dont correct terminology)tells me i need to be on an anti depressant and something for anxiety ie benzos but now that there is such a problem for some with benzos the public mental health clinic wont prescribe them for any reason. What am i supposed to do? I am almost pulling my hair out from the constant anxiety and i feel like a guinea pig. Be patient one dr old me, sorry but ive been patient for over 20 yrs. I feel like im falling through the cracks.

I know how you feel. Have you tried a diet change? Ie. Do you drink coffee? Try having tea instead. Tea helps me a lot.

Also, have you tried CBT? That's helpful as well.

Autumn i dont drink much of anything with caffeine in it, the caffeine never really bothered me, i actually stopped drinking it because i knew it was bad for me. I would like to try CBT but i go to a public clinic and its not offered.
