Anxiety Disorder

[PreciousGem]

I’ve been having severe anxiety for the past month. Started therapy last week. Was prescribed benzodiazepines but they don’t seem to be working. Atleast not yet and at this point I just want this thing to go away sigh.

I also suffer from anxiety, like you I’ve been bad for about a month, it affects my sleep, I think I need to get some therapy, how do I go about it? It’s nearly 2.30 am and I have to be up at 5am, I’m sorry to bother you but I’m just sick of it

I feel like you do need some short term relief but in the LONG term try to get rid of the attitude “I just want anxiety to go away”, it’ll never go away and that will only make it stronger and stronger.

She is right, it's not going to go away. You're going to have good days and bad days. Just find what works best for you and try to manage it the best you can. Accept it, don't reject it.

PreciousGem, Unfortunately, we cannot wish Anxiety away. There is no one pill

or magic wand that will suddenly make your symptoms disappear. However, with

using a combination of tools, it is more than possible for you to get your life back

once again.

You say that the anxiety has been severe this past month. What happened to bring

it on to this degree? It is near impossible to be living a happy, carefree life and all of

a sudden you are hit with severe anxiety. Until you address the cause of your anxiety,

it will stay with you. The fact that a Benzo med doesn't work either means it's not the

right dose or medication or you need to have more therapy under your belt in order to

start working on your issues.

Another tool that can be immensely helpful is finding something that can work on

calming both your Mind/Body Connection. Using medication, therapy and a calming

tool will allow you to take the positive step forward. Don't lose hope. Stay Positive,

Stay Strong. I'm happy to Welcome you to this great support forum. Together we will

walk with you. You no longer will feel alone. xx
