So anxious

[NiBa5]

I've been recovering from the severest? antidepressant withdrawal for years. I'm almost ok. But I feel so panicky and anxious today...I feel I'll lose my mind. I'm alone with my cat.

That's why I tell people when their doctor tries to push some magic pill on them to think twice before taking it. Drugs camp down the physical effects of anxiety and depression but don't treat the root cause.I remember a few years ago I was on my knees crying on a crisis line when I tried to get off benzos too quickly talking to a college student. So I know where you're coming from. It's tough if you can persevere through it you'll be a better person. I went for a lot of walks drank a lot of water watched a lot of YouTube videos on relaxation and coping methods. I told my family's how I was struggling and visited with them during the worst times so they could help me.

Thank you for reaching out. I went through a hell truly but I've recovered a lot. I'm watching YouTube yo distract myself. But it's awfully hard, partially today.
