I've been having horrible anxiety and panic. I'm 38 and can't except it. I just want out. 😪😪😪

Maybe you need to speak to a Dr and tell them how your feeling mate and see if they can change anything to help?

I’m sorry, I have panic and anxiety too. I rely on my faith to get me through the bad feelings.

How do you deal with the physical symp

[Hidden in reply to brettalundgren]

Well I take Lexapro, I think it has helped some but honestly I’ve had to just deal

With it. I started exercising and it has helped, I drink Tulsi tea which helps your body adapt to stress. When I feel panic symptoms I talk myself through it, I’ve listened to Claire Weekes books on YouTube and she talks about exposure therapy. Anxiety will get you stuck, the only way out is through it. I also work on a 12 step program through codependents anonymous.

Thank you

[brettalundgren in reply to Hidden]

So you have a hard time going places and doing things?

[Hidden in reply to brettalundgren]

Yes! Driving has been my biggest fear and going to work. I’ve had to drive locally and then work my way up to further out. I’m still getting used to it. The fear is real.

Me too.

SSRIs are the kiss of death. Get off those if you can (very hard once you start). Switch to natural ASAP. Ashwagandha 3 times a day, Gotu Kola 3 times a day. NAC is also very helpful. 600mg tabs at least once a day.
