Hey everyone

[hilfemir]

My name is Maria and I'm 21.
I've been dealing with anxiety for a long time. My anxiety is the reason I could not handle the idea of going to college and I have a hard time keeping a job. Mostly, I've tried ignoring it and to just "get over it". Now, I want to try to deal and live with it as naturally as possible (if possible at all).

Hi Maria I'm 23 I recently just got anxiety and panic attacks. I went to a therapist who said I should utilize medicine for now so I'm on my 4th day of Prozac. I would try a therapist and they can help you figure out if you can overcome this without medicine or if you need it for the time being. Hope this has helped :)

Hey, Maria, and welcome! I'm glad you found us. I'm sorry that you are feeling so distressed. If you're thinking of therapy, it's great if you can afford to do it. Your family doctor can prescribe medications, or you can see a psychiatrist, whose specialty is psychotropic drugs. Good luck!
