I have really bad anxiety, I cannot leave my house, study, do homework or chores because I just have horrible anxiety. Everyone who knows me knows that I have horrible anxiety and I cannot function at all, I am completely incapacitated by this. My days feel like day-long panic attacks, and since I have chronic pain and generalized anxiety disorder and OCD and a vision problem I just spend all my day obsessing over and over and over and over about that, and I am just obsessed with becoming smarter but I get bad anxiety doing anything like reading or stuff. Its been like this for 3 years and its getting pretty monotonous. I say I want to try meds but everytime I get close to trying them I chicken out because I am afraid it will make my personality inconsistent with who I am now, although that is already occuring with my pain meds. Its a strange dilemma that I am completely unsure how to approach, any input on this would be super appreciated
Thank you to everyone who responded, I found each of your entries to be helpful. I think I am going to try to implement my own Cognitive Behavioral therapy from what info I can recieve online, and I am going to start meds as soon as I can because I am getting really strong biological stress responses that I cannot modify behaviorally, and I have already tried multiple times with little success. I think taking the bio-psycho-social approach will help me since its so severe and engrained into my personality/routine, I really don’t know how to begin though. Thats going to be the hardest part, and I doubt I am going to change the cycle because it is so strong, but I will try at least.

well you are wise over the druggs issue
and you need help asap
now i have been writing a book on depression but you will find all of the therapies mentioned here will realy help you if
you apply them —not e the word if
we get beneficial results within minutes of using them the biggest one is the voluntary work aspect when you can
but you may be not at that point yet to do much as you have wrote
Depression
We have many testimonies and some research papers and can also point you to links to other research studies indicating some remark able results.
My web site
It is called the Orion project. We make the point quite clear that we sell nothing health related or make any charge for the healing, which comes through.
drugs and research Obviously it costs vast sums of money to test and approve treatments because of the possible damage to people and the subsequent litigation costing millions of pounds. The point is this Where does this money come from to test and approve treatments?
By far the biggest source is the drug companies. By and large only treatments, which show the promise of good deal of a profit, will even get examined. Because they are in business to make a profit, not for serving the people. So many of the thousands of therapies which they see as having no profit potential do not get approved and thus by and large do not get recommended by your local doctor or hospitals .
Depression protocol and this protocol will help in many other disorders as well
You will need to google search some of the therapies and equipment here
Firstly find someone to massage your back and legs at least 3 times a week
Use peanut oil or a mix of 50-50 olive and peanut oil. Paying particular attention to the spine and choose someone who is sympathy with your condition. It is by no mere chance that massage has been around for thousands of years .It is effective speeds up the toxic removal process, enables blood to flow to many more capillaries and can be a major factor in your well being. We advocate massage on a weekly basis as a normal healthy practice.
Office workers massaged regularly were more alert, performed better and were less stressed than those who weren’t massaged. Abdominal surgery patients recovered more quickly after massage..Helps relieve stress and aids relaxation
2.The violet ray is also a wondrous electrical device. Basically a high frequency electrical device very popular in the 1900s it produces static like electricity and the end of a glass wand which turns purple Use this 3 times a week on the other days of massage, especially on the spine. This device can be used for many other problems as well; many people who have problems with the spine pain have got relief. I have noticed immediate relief and a feeling of betterment very quickly. Some therapists will have these but I recommend owning one yourself as they can be bought quite cheaply.
3.Connect with mother earth, get a tent sleep out side 3 times a week utilising earth energy. Connect with this planets lovely vibration,.
Without doubt this energy is one of the most profound and beneficial. Generally we are surrounded by whole structures of inanimate matter, matter which is lifeless .A few examples would be concrete brick, dead wood, plaster, carpets, metal radiators and that is just the average living room. When we work or are surrounded with living things such as gardens, nice scenery, mountains, rivers lakes, we generally gain something from these things.
This is why so many people retreat to the mountains, lakes, and seaside to gain sustenance from just being there. Each area has its own innate energy and you will have noticed some people attracted with real desire to live near the sea, or the south, north or other areas..
4. Ensure your diet is good raw salad once a day ideal or 5 portions vegetables or fruit daily ensure adequate protein women 60 grams day men around 70grams. Ensure you get adequate minerals all of them particularly calcium and magnesium, iron in the right proportions and combinations. See Adele Davis book lets eat right to keep fit ISBN 0046410171. Ensure adequate water intake of the order 1-2 litres per day that’s right water. Blood sugar make sure you are not suffering low blood sugar as this can very quickly affect your mood
5.Ensure your thyroid is working well – producing the correct amount of thyroxin not to much or too little. This can be an important factor we have seen underactive thyroid almost putting people in a state of comatose with brain functioning at a minimal level.
6.Ensure you do at least I hr per day some kind of voluntary work when you are able. Now this touches on a concept where by contributing something to other peoples welfare it is hoped that the universe will respond by offsetting some of the not so good things we have done. I have a whole paper devoted to this subject called karma. I will

Well, you may be shocked by my answer…you need the meds. The way you describe your life, you must be miserable, you need changed…they won’t change your personality, they will help get you out of the house. I was in terrible shape from not wanting to take medication. I had to quit my job and I layed around and cried all the time, at other times I was having severe panic attacks. I am now on Lexapro and Xanax and it was the best thing for my situation. Now I can go shopping, I don’t cry much at all, I can function again, and I feel like I got my life back. People will put you down for taking medication but it’s none of their business. This is you life, you only get one, try to enjoy it. God Bless!!!
sounds like you had Adult ADD and that is causing all these problems. Look into it, google it, maybe take an online free test to see.
I know I have had anxiety and panic attacks all my life and was amazed at how finding out I have ADD freed my life!!
I read books on how to better deal with my condition, which in turn relieved my anxiety and hang ups and OCD thinking!
I take the ritalin 5mg when my head is just racing with anxious thoughts, but not all the time.
all i ask is that you look into it. You never know, you could cure your whole life..
