New to this kind of thing

I've never tried something like this before, but I'm desperate to feel better. I have had anxiety and depression most of my life to varying degrees. But this last year my anxiety has been horrible. I have medication and a therapist. but nobody else to talk to. My anxiety can be so bad I get anxious about being anxious. I work at costco and feel like I can barely do that. No surprise I have a history of self medicating and alcoholism. However, I have been sober for a few years. My doctors give me advice like excersize, which the depression in me seems to keep me from following through on. I thought maybe talking with people who can relate might help.

Hi there...

Do you know why your anxiety got worse this past year?

[zannex1972 in reply to Myheartisblack]

I did just move back to my hometown.

Thanx....the weird thing is I don't want to drink because it causes more anxiety. I just quit smoking pot as well. I know excersize will help, but I can't seem to get started again. I used to workout.

I have been trying a kind of meditation sound therapy. Not sure if it works. It hard for me to get out of my own head.
