Trying to deal

[ResaLux]

I have been dealing with anxiety as long as I can remember. I was on medication for 2 years, it made the anxiety go away but I felt like a zombie and gained 50 pounds. I am off the meds but now I feel awful. No one likes me, no one understands me and I hate my self. I am so stuck

You are not stuck and as stupid as that sounds believe me I have been where you are. I was on meds for two years and everyone hated that I was on them. Sometimes they work and sometimes they don't. It's your body and if they make you feel better than great but if not it's time to find something new to try.

It means so much to know someone else has felt the way I feel. I feel so alone in this, like no one can understand. I don't understand why I feel like this

Is this about the meds?

I hate that I need the meds. I have to choose to feel like my mind is out of my control or I can go back on medication and feel nothing at all
