Anxiety getting worse

I'm 59. I've had anxiety for 5 years now and take medication. Two years ago it began to gradually get worse and is continuing to. Why is this happening and will it ever stop.

You may want to go back to your doctor or support worker and explain what is happening.

You say you're on meds. If you've been in them for awhile you may be experiencing poop out and may need to switch or up your dosage. Talk to your doc!
