Yes, all the time! I've experienced every symptom possible with my anxiety. Like yourself, I don't want to depend on meds. I pray that you overcome your anxiety. Blessings to you!
Hi Yaz. Give yourself the freedom to scream and cry if you need to. Let it out! Sometimes it's best not to hold those feeling in. I understand not wanting to be on meds but if they are helping don't beat yourself up over it.
I have not been on a regiminine of meds. I told my doctor I wanted to help myself without them. He warned me it would be more challenging but I wanted to try. I made changes in my life to help me. I exercise regularly, meditate, eat healthier, removed constant stressors. I'm in no way perfect at any of those things, but I have to say I feel better and have been able to calm myself when I feel anxious because I try everyday to stay motivated to move forward.
Keep your head up, if the meds help then that's good but try other stuff too... You never know what will help.
I can completely relate. I often feel like I am going crazy and that my mind will eventually be lost to this terrible affliction. The mental symptoms of dread are the worst. Hang in there.
