I have anxiety disorder!!!? |
a year and a half ago, i was diagnosed with anxiety disorder. i took my meds for awhile and then went off them because i thought i didn't need them. now i have been having serious anxiety issues and i think i've been having panic attacks. my mom doesn't think i need my meds. she thinks i'm "all better" so she threw away my anxiety pills along with my pills for depression. i don't see a psychiatrist anymore, so he can't give me anymore. what should i do?? I too suffer from AD. I too went off my meds when things got better - meaning a calm mind. I went off and it returned worse. Problem - if it's a chemical imbalance, all the therapy in the world won't do squat. It's like talking for an hour to regulate my insulin if I had diabetes. If it's issues, talk them out and deal with them, meds will help yout thru it then the doc will ween you off. If it's chemical, you're on them for life. Try doing yoga. Take a class once a week and get a video and do it every day. It will work as well as the pills. And you don't need a doctor or prescription. You can learn how to calm yourself from the inside, not with pills. see a therapist again! Longterm, meds are not the answer. You need to resolve the underlying issues thta are causing you to have the anxiety in the first place. You need to find a doctor or clinical social worker who can help you figure out why you have anxiety. Once you understand what causes it, you can deal with it, and prepare yourself ahead of time for tough situations. Good Luck. if your medication helped you then go back to your therapist and get your meds. You must also remember that yuo are the one who has to live with the disorder not your mother. Do what is best for you! YOu know what I suffered from anxiety attacks and once in a while they come back. Yoga did not do anything from me because it's chemical reaction in the body. Once you take pills you get over the fear and move on in life. I used to be very scared due to the fact i know when anxiety will kick in and sometimes it lasts for a while and becomes just bad. I woud suggest GO to the DOCTOR and ask for pills. You'll be much better off. ;)) Yoga isn't going to do ANYTHING! Gosh, I hate it when people give advise and don't understand how serious of a problem this is. Go back to the doctor. If your mother won't let you go, talk to another adult in your family to convince her. Also, no reason you can't call and speak to the doctor yourself on the phone and ask for help. The doctor could speak with the two of your together and explain to your mother that it is important you get treatement. |
