I want the feelings to stop. I want to stop feeling like I need to run to the hospital. It’s getting frustrating. My symptoms always are changing up which may be a good sign. Just getting frustrated with everything like maybe I should try to get on a low dose of something.
yes I’ve taken more Xanax. It just feels like I’m stuck in survival mode

It’s hard , but I think yes maybe a regular low dose of meds could help you a lot but it takes a while to get into your system to help so you have to stick with them.
I developed health anxiety during Covid. For the longest time I thought every little runny nose, plugged nose, slight headache, cough meant I was coming down with Covid. That anxiety didn't go away for about 2 1/2 years. After it went away I developed insommnia, which, through therapy, I discovered was due to suppressed anxiety. I didn't like the way benzos made me feel, and I was worried about the potential for addiction. I resisted taking an antidepressant, but it has done wonders for my anxiety and I am now sleeping well most nights. I think part of my poor sleep is due to aging (61 years old). My therapist was very persistent and had me try many different types of medications until I hit on one that worked. I'm glad I did.
