Did he give you meds for anxiety? They literally changed my life. All my organs are in great shape and I've been taking meds for over 20 years now. Right now, at age 55, I do have some gallstones, but other than that, everything else is in great shape. Gallstones have run in my family. Sister had hers removed, as have many of my aunts.

Also, try taking viamins B complex. That also helps with anxiety. Oh, and drop the caffeine. That was THE most difficult for me. I drink decaf tea, but I do eat chocolate. Can't give up that chocolate, but I eat chocolate that isn't pure chocolate.

There are meds that aren't addictive. Mine are old and addictive, so I recommend taking those that are new and not.

Let us know how you're doing.

This is not what you are gonna want to hear but we keep having anxiety by our thoughts. It is a mind and body connection. We have a scary thought and our body reacts. So watch the thoughts: you will notice that you scare yourself by saying to yourself: I can't take this, I am out of control- ......your b ody will react.

For instance if you look in the mirror and said to yourself-wwow I look awful, I look tired, I look like shit. Your body will react--you will slump-you will lack luster in your hair and complexion, you will appear dull. All this just because of the thoughts you had. Same goes with anxiety/panic So if a scary, or anxiety provoking thought comes up, don't listen to it, don't dwell on iot, don't analyze it. Instead challenge it-If the thought comes up like oh this anxiety is getting me depressed- challenge it by saying I can make myself happy by doing things I enjoy in spite of this anxiety and I will do things that make me happy.Send good, positive thoughts as much as possible, not giving room for negative thoughts.

The reactive mind is a dangerous thing. When you hear something tragic on the radio or TV, which is all you'll hear on the news, feel the victim's pain, then mentally disconnect, divorce yourself, detach and move on, consider all the positive things in the world and in your immediate life.

Great advice. I'm in her condition and still push through the day taking klonopin. Have been really trying to counter my negative thoughts with more positive. Its easier said than done and I keep on trying. I guess the subconscience mind has a lot of bad stuff in there bubbling up in our minds. It takes practice in my case and I want to try harder to retrain my brain. You're right though, Those negative catastrophic thought's are what causes this anxiety. I to had tests ,thinking something was causing this stuff

Thanks everyone for your thoughts! You are all right on! My negative thoughts can control me at times....it's worst in the morning and at bedtime, but I am going to CBT and trying to challenge and change my thoughts! I appreciate all your comments! It really does help me and makes me think about things!!
