To be scared of anixety meditation

[Lockeddownagain]

Things are not good I've had health anixety my whole life but its tipped over into everything now struggling in terrible paranoia . Last night after making my husband feel terrible again things came to a head. I pick at him all the time. I had a falling out with my family in February qnd since then things had spiraled. I keep thinking well do I need medication cos what if what I think is happening happens and I've medication myself for no reason or to I do it to control my every growing health anixety. I can't get up today I hqve been lying her for 2 qnd q half hours qnd can't face the world
I think my marriage is in serious danger

Speak to your doctor. You need help. You're not ok.

Medication isn't a bad thing. If you had an infection you'd take antibiotics. Its not forever, just to help your brain find it's natural balance again.

I wasn't sure about taking anxiety medication but it improved my life massively and I'm a much happier more relaxed person now

It's worth trying, it can take about 6-8 weeks to work and if after a few months you're not finding it helps you can try something else

You’re not well OP, which you know.

Get an appointment with your GP and be completely honest.

If you have insurance through work or privately, ask for a referral to a Consultant Psychiatrist. This will be one of the best decisions you have ever made.

All the best xx

You’re suffering with anxiety, it’s not surprising that the prospect of a new medication is causing exacerbation of that.

I’m not going to try and tell you anything in the belief I can ease your anxiety but you need to contact your GP and take the first step in asking for help. You don’t have to feel like this but you do have to approach the right place and make them aware that you need help.

Medication is not a one stop solution but it does give you breathing room to address what you need to. There is more than one option so if the first one doesn’t suit you can try another or different dosages.

Please be brave and speak to your GP. I can’t tell you what a relief it is to realise that for the first time in ages you can think about things with spiralling uncontrollably.
