I have been dealing with anxiety and depression off and on since I was 15. I always forge ahead with my life despite it, but in the meantime, it’s very annoying when I go through several-week pockets of it. I think therapy, medication, and friends are important things to combat it. It’s especially awful when I have a bout of it driving at night on the freeway. I’d like to hear from other people who have experience with this– does it feel like your whole body is tense and tired? Like maybe you’re breathing wrong? Fast heartbeat, needless obsessive fear? Tell your story and how you’re overcoming it.
NOTE: Please don’t try to preach to me about why the drugs are bad. The doctors wouldn’t prescribe them if they didn’t think they would help.
