Finally getting help

I posted on here before that i am sick of my anxiety and am afraid it will ruin my life, relationship, school and everything I enjoy. It has taken a good toll already and I have to make a stand now. I am going to try anti anxiety medicine since my depression is under control. I cant even begin to explain how sick of this I am and just want it gone. I am trying the techniques with no medicine, but I need something else. I hate living like this and I want my life back. I am sick of the panic attacks and crying everyday. I am a 20 year old man and feel so weak because of this and the only time i feel happy is around my girlfriend who understands what Im going through. The fear of losing her in general, especially over this (which she says wont happen), keeps me up t night. I love her and she is one of the min reasons I wanna get better. I always have treated her right and always will, but she deserves a break from dealing with my anxiety as much as I do. We've been together a little while now and Ive dated before her, but no woman has ever made me feel the way she does. The love I have for her is incredibly strong especially because of the way she has helped me and has been so understanding and supportive. I know I can always go to her. I am so scared of losing her though and everything because of this it brings me to tears almost everyday. I dont wanna lose it all. I am taking a stand; Im gonna get me life back under my control, will not be sad, enjoy and help my relationship get even better, get school under control, get back to the things I love doing. And improving my life. Its my life and I know that I can make it better. Once I put my mind and strength towards it... Id like to see something try and get in my way to halt my progress.

Congrats on getting help good for you! I have sufferd from anxiety and depression for years now. I was the same at one point I had my depression under control but not the anxiety. The Dr first put me on xanax and then switched to clonzepam which I find works wonders. I never leave the house without it. Sometimes for me just knowing I have it gives me some relief when I feel that I'm going to have a panick attack. I have been on them for quite sometime now but they work and I feel trust in that. Talk to your Dr to find out what might work the best for you everyone is diffrent. I wish you luck and don't give up : )

Hey NAE. I responded to another post of yours regarding what you've been going through. I'm happy to read how determined you are (that's going to help you big time!) in getting better and the direction you want to go. It also sounded like you had a good support group btw your g/f,
family, and friends that you've shared this with - so you have a lot on your side!

If I remember correctly you didn't want to take meds (who does? :) ) ,but sometimes they're necessary in order to get better. Happy that you're willing to give the meds a chance. You're young and you have a lot of living to do.

Wishing you all the best. Let us know how you're doing.
