What to do?

[Sun_flower16]

I’ve was diagnosed with severe anxiety a couple months ago. I’ve done everything in my power that I possibly could to educate myself on the topic. I’ve read books, articles online, talked with friends and family who experience it, started to see a psychologist (6 months ago), and spoke with my family doctor. I would like to excercise every resource I can before giving up and falling into the hands of anxiety medication. Any suggestions on what to do as a last resort before medication? I’d prefer to stay away from medication.

I agree that staying away from meds is best if you can manage that. As for helpful input, I think we all experience anxiety differently (though there is a HUGE degree of commonality as well - you'll no doubt find your anxiety doppelganger on here one day when you least expect it) so it's difficult to give advice without specifics.
