Seeking a Breakthrough

I'm ready for a breakthrough from this anxiety that is taking over my life. I feel like all I do is worry to take action.

I believe you guys when you say "there's nothing wrong with your heart" until I get a heavy heart palpitation. I want to get to the point to where when ever I get chest pain I can say "this is fine."

So far, NO ONE has told me I'm not okay. No one except myself. And I want to change that. I have sevral methods below, where should I start?

Cognitive Behavior Therapy
Phsychaiatrist
Yoga
Medication
Meditation
Deep Breathing

Agree with AnxiousNoMore.  The only reason to ever see a psychiatrist is if you get to the point where you want medication.  If you learn yoga and meditation from, say, a Buddhist rather than from your CBT practitioner, you'll get some of that philosophy AnxiousNoMore is talking about as well.

Anything for now but medication which is your last resort. You could also try reading philosophies of the world, in case something there catches your fancy - they all deal with how to get through troubles.
