I Hate My Mind!
I am constantly worrying about something. Sometimes I feel like a fool because my entire family keeps telling me that I am okay. Within the last 6 months I got off 2 anti depressants, an anti anxiety med, and adhd meds. I am at a loss of what to do. I do deep breathing but sometimes this is not enough. Within the last two days I've had strong heart beats, I can feel them outside my body.
Thank you for your question and welcome to AnxietyConnection.com.
You don't mention why you went off medications. Did your doctors feel you were doing better, were you not tolerating the medication well or was there another reason?
You might also want to consider cognitive behavioral therapy as many people have found this helps with anxiety.

The reason I had gotten off the medications was that I appeared to be doing better, and I was going to school so I didn't want to always be taking medications, it was a burden. I had been taking different medications for different things since I was 7.
