New to group and suffering with anxiety

[Josiedreamer]

Hello. Just joined this group. Am looking for support. My anxiety started to get bad about one month ago. Ended up in ER. Am now on medication but still feel lonely and finding it difficult to cope. Not sleeping well in spite of meds. Any advice to help me cope with this anxiety?

if you are still dealing with anxiety, let the doctor know about this and if one doctor does not help, try your pcp.

for sleep, I have use OTC Walgreen brand sleep aide for a couple of years and this was after trying Xyrem, Trazodone and some other prescription drugs.

feeling lonely is normal, particularly when you are alone. To cure mine, I picked a new city, had my mum move in with me.and convinced my siblings that it was the best place for them to live. Lo and behold, we all now live in the same city and we all love it. I am never alone, and there is always family around. It took about 2 years to accomplish this but it turned out to be the one of the best things I ever did for myself. Of course, none of them know of the plan to this day.

Have you tried any therapy or seen a doctor that deals with anxiety specifically?

Welcome to the group. Ask your doctor about melatonin at night. It is a natural sleep aid that may help in getting a better sleep.
