The past few days with my anxiety have been rough, it’s been up and down and the downs have been horrible and terribly uncomfortable to deal with. I keep telling myself to deep breathe and keep going but it’s hard. One of my triggers is thinking about my grandma dying and what I’m going to do without her. Lately being around her has made me anxious but she’s also one of the very few people that I can talk to about how I’m feeling so it’s hard. I just want this anxiety to be gone because I don’t like how I feel. I have Xanax that I can take but I don’t like taking it because I don’t want to rely on a pill to make me better all the time. I’m just frustrated and struggling and I wanted to get my thoughts out

Thinking about your grandmother passing will make you anxious but I do understand the compulsion to think about something so awful. I often worry about my partner passing away. It is a really horrible place to be and I am sorry. Unless I am mistaken, is xanax not a temporary pill? I wonder if you would benefit from an anti anxiety tablet to help with the anxious feeling.

Thank you for the response! Yes Xanax is a temporary pill and I take it as needed, and I have citalopram that I take for anxiety and depression every night

I am glad you have something long term to take. If you have taken it for more then 6 weeks and do not feel any benefit then you can always go to your doctor and tell them. You may be able to try something else.
