Hello all
I have suffered with anxiety for about three years now. This was triggered from smoking weed and having a panic attack whilst doing so. Lesson learned I won’t even have a paracetamol now lol.
I have been able to manage it for the last three years without medication but with exercise, healthy eating, occasionally seeing a CBT therapist as and when I feel like it - I have bouts where I am so so anxious I feel like I am actually going mental. I feel spaced out, question everhthing like to the point where I think how is the world so big 🤣 then that thiught panics me because I think am I going mental. Thus far I have not gone ‘mental’ after three years of worrying that I will. So I know my anxiety is irrational and I know it’s completely stupid. But yet still borderline debilitating.
Due to the trigger of my anxiety coming from ‘taking’ something, I am so so so reluctant to try anti anxiety tablets.
Has anybody else ever worried about this? And if so how did you over come it?
As I say, I have been able to manage my anxiety for a really long time but it is now making me dread normal things like going to get my nails done, driving and even going out for tea and enough is enough.
