it is not good to sit on your anxiety and do nothing. yes it does cause emotional and physical pain. definitely. i've been through it still battle it and know what you mean. you must become proactive. get started immediately to help yourself. few people will understand how you feel. unfortunately. you will have to do a lot but not everything alone. maybe this (below) will help you in some way? i hope so. if money is a barrier and you are suffering which you seem to be consult with your doctor or a free clinic doctor about using a regimen of ipipromol - which is not a real expensive prescription. also it is not habit forming (get opinions from your doc to verify but often us docs do not know this item but they could look it up) like xanax or lorazepam and can lessen your anxiety level in a day or two (1) to help you sleep (for renewed energy) and (2) feel more normal and balanced to be able to map out a plan to deal more fully with your underlying problems. if you cannot afford a doctor you must find a free mental health clinic somewhere nearby that you can get to without too many hassles for some help with diagnoses. they are out there. even if you have to take a bus -whatever- make the effort! there is a reasonable chance that with anxiety there also is depression. both things should and must be treated to resume a truly "normal life. " it'll take time but don't hesitate to be active right now get started get on the phone see where you might get opipromol (it works quickly and is not too strong) and find that free mental health clinic. you can do it. get help from anyone willing and trustworthy. best of luck to you my friend. there is help out there somewhere. look for it right now.
