Today my me and my mum had a massive convo and I’m emailing a doctor/therapist to help me wit all my anxiety , fears , phobias. I’m hoping it’ll help me for the good but still feel nervous about it all. Hope everyone had a fabulous Christmas as they possibly could!

Think twice before altering your body with meds. Talk Therapy is the best way to go. Everyone wants a quick fix, but noone knows the side effects and severe consequences of taking strange pharmaceuticals to get happy.

Life is hard ...learn to deal.

I don’t plan to take on the pills I’ve been given 5 prescriptions for sertraline and refused them all

Good luck then. I hope you find something that works. I tried for 3 years to fix my anxiety on my own and nothing worked. I got on sertraline and after 2 months I was back to my old self and happier and more relaxed than I had been in years. The stress from my anxiety would have killed me if I would have kept on going like I was. It’s not right for everyone, but at some point, meds might be the only thing that can help you.

Hope you find something that helps you feel better.

To be honest I don’t want to be stuck on a drug unless I’ve exhausted all other options so I’ll go for those options first

Good luck. With a bit of help and the love of your parents you’ll make it. Be patient. Be accepting. Good luck.
