I have GAD and my therapist told me to start cbt if im reluctant to take meds just yet , i have a few weeks before my next appointment due to overcrowding so i want to try them at home , i tried some but i just want to see if it can be successful at home and if anyone can help me with some techniques i can use , mostly to overcome obsessive thoughts and irrational fears and thoughts due to anxiety

Hi again Kevin,

Decisions are difficult to make when we have anxiety. Depression makes it worse. On the other hand, those who have mania (bipolar) often make very bad decisions. And(choices) always have an impact.

Life requires us to make decisions. Big ones & little ones. We can't avoid it.

Kevin, CBT a way to help with personal coping strategies. It can't harm you.

But stressing over the decision only makes it more difficult.

In my experience, asking others for help is fine (I often do) it's okay.

When I pray for God's direction I have less anxiety because He is wise & will support the decision I make.

I hope you will work in harmony with your own prayers.

Smile more, Dear Kevin
