I'm a 41 year old male, married and with 2 kids. I would have what I consider on and off again anxiety problems. It seems pretty general and most times it is over what I would consider nothing. It would be best described in this article that I oddly found on twitter during my last bad stretch.

I have always had going to a doctor in the back of my mind but held off. From what I've read, it seems that some kind of talk therapy is common and sometimes meds. I'm not terribly fond of either option which I know sounds silly but I talk to my wife about it.
I guess I'm wondering what the most likely out come is, knowing that the answers will be varied. It seems so much I read on this, the answer is more coping techniques and if that is the case, I'd rather just leave the doctors out of it.
