Hi I'm new to this app. Currently I've been suffering from anxiety for many years but I've been too stubborn to seek help for it. Right now I've never felt so ill in my entire life. I have a doctors appointment this Friday so I'm hoping I can go to therapy or something.

Hi, I am new to this app too. I find comfort being able to relate to people that deal w the same issues I have. My best advice would just be as open and honest w your doctor as possible. Hopefully he can find the best possible options for you. I've dealt w anxiety since I was about 12 it became worse into adulthood, I'm 26 now. I don't take medication, I just ride them out now.

Hello, I am also new.

From what I understand, medication treats anxiety well, but I am trying to avoid it and cope by filling my time with activities so as not to worry so much.

Something that really helps is reading other people's experiences with anxiety; I feel very much alone with my worries and having people to vent to makes me feel better,
