Re: Medication for anxiety?
Hi Seuss
I'm on a SSRI and three different anti anxiety meds, supposed to help sleep but doesn't do that either hasn't made any difference to the symptoms. But that's just me.... Too broken to be fixed.....No confusion certainly hasn't gone. Just alone scared and unwell.
Keep going with the mindfulness, distract, break the day into hours or smaller. I keep a note book of all my grounding , posative affirmations, mindfulness, distractions. So they are there when you need it most.
Take care....

Re: Medication for anxiety?
@Seuss, I found anti anxiety meds have me anxiety..have used anti depressants that have helped when I needed them...peer support worked better, learning skills from my peers...but as with all things, there is the dilemma of what's best for you? Who's evidence or advice will you be willing to listen to? What are the risks vs potential benefits? Meds can be extremely beneficial at times, but it is very individual...hugs to you both..

Re: Medication for anxiety?
Still working on emotional regulation..breathe deeply and walk tall..ha on the days where I am waddling like a duck and dog tired, it helps to breathe deeply..:)
Also, some friends swear HRT has stopped their anxiety ( for ladies of a certain age)

Re: Medication for anxiety?
Over time, I no longer use them but there have been periods when I have used them for extended periods like a year to get through patches of extended stress..in fact, I have been mulling over whether returning to meds for a few months might be very beneficial..
Still mulling it over...affordability for talking therapies is an issue, and work/life tensions means attending support groups not possible at this point...thank goodness for this forum..
