Answer my anxiety plzz

[format26]

Hi all.My name is joey.Right now i am going through some rough times with my inner self and self esteem.I think I am depressed but that is caused due to my anxiety problems I am having and have had for about a year.I am 19. I know once my fears for the anxiety is cured I will be happy again.I dont really have severe symptons now as what i used to about 6 months ago, ive actually gottem a lot better so i know for sure there is an ending to my problems and it will stop very soon.One of my fears is when im driving around i get really nervous.I have minimal small twictches mostly non noticeable when driving, sometimes sweating, burining of eyes where have to forcefully blink and my mind just goin with thoughts.Im always worried when im driving because of people around me.I live in a very small town where everyone knows eachother.I realy changed a lot in the past year.I went from a solid,smart, loving, confident, very musuclar guy, to a low self esteemed, stuttaring, mental problem filled head kind of guy.My question is what meds is really good to use for a short period of time for anxiety until its off my head and can go back to normal life and can come off the meds with no severe symptons?Also this might sound stupid but if someone could answer ths plz.No offense to people who have mental problems such as myself.If you are a normal happy guy or girl and you are on a stop light are u thinking?Are you talking to urslef in your mind about ne thing?Or are u just driving around going to the destination needed to go?Lol i know it sounds really stupid but the reason for everything are those kind of questions.Of how to think normal to be normal, and I just want to stop questioning my own mind an thoughts and be confident inner and outer body.Thank you to all post.

I am sorry that you are dealing with this right now.  Remember, in life we have many challanges that will tax us both mentally and physically and anxiety/panic can be just that.  There is no 'magic pill' that is going to 'cure' you of your anxiety.  I am a big proponent of medications, but only if they are combined with talk therapy.  Without learning the source of your issues and the ways to confront it, then you will never truly cure yourself of this.  BUT you can definately thrive with this.  By learning about it and confronting you it, you learn a lot about yourself and what you are going through; you will realize that what you are going through is not unique and that many people have gone through it before you and many will after you, which is a good thing because you know you are not alone.

Throughout all of this, have you had access to a therapist, pschologist, psychiatrist, etc.?  Please feel free to keep asking as many questions as you like and please keep us posted!
