Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...

Over this anxiety

This_Is_Me
This_Is_Me

I've been on anxiety medication and antidepressants for a year now and my anxiety is still very bad.I overthink every little thing.I worry about things a few months from now.I can't even get myself to go to class because I'm too scared of what people will think of me.Things like seeing n friend I haven't seen in a while gives me anxiety.My heart start racing, I can't breathe, my palms start sweating, I get dizzy and then I usually make up an excuse to why I can't do something with them anymore.


I'm so tired of feeling like this.I got my car a while back and now I have anxiety about riding it to class.Things like talking to a cashier at a shop or meeting someone new or even talking on the phone when someone calls, gives me a panic attack.Please help.I don't know what to do anymore.I feel so pathetic cause none of my friends have issues with these basic everyday things.I feel depressed when I'm alone at home and when I think of doing something with someone so I don't feel depressed then I get anxiety.

hi ☺ so sorry that things are tough for you. anxiety is no game. it founds like you have GAD. I've had this for years. the medication didn't stop the Anxiety as that comes from me over thinking stuff. the meds was more to help my symptoms. that then helped me not to get over stressed and worsen the situation (if u know what I mean) . if the meds are not helpful for you perhaps a chat with the psychiatrist would help. all the best

I have GAD, social anxiety and then sometimes panic attacks. I don't think the meds are enough for me so I'm going to make an appointment with the psychiatrist. Thank you for your reply :)xx

Anxiety from over worrying is a horrible feeling. Xanax helps with the symptoms, but it’s not the cure. Good luck in your journey.

I suffer daily from panic and anxiety. It's interesting to see that what helps some people cause anxiety in another...for example, I love being around people and talking to people...it helps me calm down. Being alone with my thoughts is what troubles me. I am on meds but they don't help. I hope you will find the right thing to help! You can message me any time. PS! Xanax does help calm me down but like other users say, it only masks the issue

Hi, I hope things are better for you today? I just wanted to say that meds are very helpful and has its place in treatment, however, they don't do magic and make our problems go away. I'm glad to hear that you are taking meds to help you deal with depression and anxiety, however, I also want to encourage you to look for other resources out there to help you deal with what is at the root of your depression and anxiety. Perhaps finding one close friend or family member you can talk to, a therapist or some counselor can help you. I know from personal experience that even finding someone you can confide in is not easy, but I pray for you.

My mom and I use the supplements Niacinamide 250mg and Inositol 250 to 500mg for anxiety and then add prescription propranolol when it gets too severe. You could also try switching antidepressants. For example from Sertraline to Fluoxetine.

    The best antidepressant is when my wishes are honored. An example, the faucet in my apartment was running although the knobs were turned shut all the way, and one of the pulling strings on my ceiling fan came off. As soon as I notified my maintenance man, he was quick to reply with the work order. RAPID response... he's getting my services around my apartment done. I appreciate my landlord and...

    Hello,so I'm currently in a weird relationship with my long distance ex who I've never met in person and it's taking a toll on me. I've lost 15 pounds and lost my appetite, but I'm really attached to him. We've had a lot of problems and I think that has caused me to gain severe anxiety. I don't know if I should wait until it gets better or what. Everytime I've blocked him, it has tend to make me...
