How to stop anxiety ?

[Jooo123]

I have been suffering with anxiety and extreme worrying for so long,  lately if there's something that is really worrying me I find its worse in the morning ? I then try and keep sleeping hopeing it will go away , I don't want to worry all the time it really upsets me , any advice will be great x

Paxil has helped me tremendously! 3 years later I'm finally at a point where I'm weaning off of it! I'm ready to give (no meds a try) with the Paxil it deff helped with the a anxiety! So much it really was a god send! There were some trade offs, low libido , and weight gain!  But I didn't mind it so long as I wasn't having the constant uneasy feeling! My anxiety was so bad I was afraid to go to Walmart, my friends would make road trip plans and I wouldn't go because I was constantly afraid of my panick attacks! So the medication was really a life saver ! Along with a lot of soul searching

I hate that you're going through this because I've been where you are and I am honestly still trying to overcome anxiety and worry. I saw a therapist once and she told me I wasn't that bad off and that I just needed to keep track of my worries in a journal and my negative thoughts to try and see where the anxiety was coming from. However I've done a lot of self help because I'm so afraid of getting on medication because I don't want to become a zombie to where the meds just act like a sedative or makes me feel like I was shot with a tranquilizer gun

I am sorry you are going through this.  In my experience, anxiety and panic can be very confusing and scary at first.  Have you ever got help through counseling?  I know for me just learning about it, made it much more easy to confront.  In my opinion, we tend to fear things we don't understand, but with a little knowledge it can shed some light on the issues.
