Q: I need to hear that other people have felt as though they RUINED their lives because of anxiety and yet they hung on and stuck through and things have gotten much better.
I suffer from anxiety. I have been dealing with for about 4 years. I am in control and live a happy life. I do have bouts of anxiety but able to deal with them. My MD suggested that I keep physically busy..which I do. I the housework and yardwork. I cook, wash dishes, mop floors. I don't do laundry as my wife doesn't likw the way I do them (I did that on purpose).
Keep trying to find ways to cope. Don't drink coffee or any caffeine products. Stop smoking (if you do) talk to your pdoc or counselor. There are meds that will help.
Lastly write. Keep a written journal..that will help you "chart" your anxiety triggers.
