I know your pain I have my good days and my bad days a lot of my anxiety attacks I thought were heart attacks in the beginning because of the physical symptoms I was always having (heart pounding, dizzy, impending doom feeling, breathing difficulty) but after years of having them and talking to doctors and therapists I realize now when I have them they are just anxiety attacks but they can be very scary for sure if you don't know what it is in the beginning. I hate taking RX meds too so it's a double edge sword, I feel like I trade one problem for another when I take the pills the doctors give me and all the side effects that come with them. To be honest I have been using medical marijuana for the last few years and I feel it really helps me and doesn't have near as many bad side effects. I know it might sound crazy but look into it and try a sativa strain it really helps with mood, anxiety and depression. But use a low does if you never tried it before

Hate taking the meds! Medical grade is impossible to get here so I go old school once in a while to help with the anxiety and pain. It helps more than anything the doctors have given me in 20 years...

Hi Good Morning,

I know how you feel. Some days I do feel bad and some days I am ok. Its best to try and focus on today and how you feel. Do you have an outlet to let some of these feelings/thoughts out? Can you go for a walk? Do you have a therapist that you can talk to about your thoughts? Remember you can help yourself feel better, but it takes time and understanding. we are our worst critics. I am some critical on myself that I think I will never get better. Medication can help, but you have to find the right meds. I tried anti-depressants. They made me feel worse and I stopped them-- side effects were awful. I take a xanax here and there to stop the raising thoughts. My doctor agreed that this was my best course of treatment. You need to find your coping mechanism and treatment. What works for you maybe different. Its very important that you talk it through and list down what is bothering you..
