    for how long .
    “You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.' You must do the thing you think you cannot do.”

    If it is without a gap then your could be getting addicted to them . Your body needs more and more of these drugs to get the same effect.

    Most likely not after only 3 weeks but it is not something you want to be using every day in order to control your anxiety . There is better ways .

    So whats your problems and worries and what are you doing about them other than the drugs ??

    I don't know I am anxious all day long and I do not feel safe. I am scared of everything. Anxious about being anxious.

    I work out, bike ride, play video games, visit/go out with family (especially my mom), go out with friends. I have a psychologist I go to once a week and we are going to start doing CBT (I had my first session last week).

    Thanks,I find this post relaxing. I'm going to read it when I'm not feeling good. Your right. Everyone should learn to laugh at anxiety,since it isn't really happening.

I worry like hell I will die of lung cancer at 30 because my chest is heavy from a nights smoking then a few days later I do it again. I'm so stupid. I'm so scared a d tired of fearing fear and weird sensations in my head. I'm trying to just say fuck it but it's so hard. I don't want to die of cancer and leave my baby boy motherless. I'm rambling sorry. Thank you for any advice or reassurance
    This post helps cause I do the same thing, I self medicate to calm the fear, the exact same thing. I use food though, it does make me feel better but I am sick of doing it!!

    I love this post. I am going to look at it too when I am feeling bad. I am either anxious, or I am laughing at my own anxiety and how stupid it is. Because I know its stupid. Usually I feel anxiety free (but I'll probably have major depression, which is MUCH better) or it's overwhelming, and I let it take its course. When I am not anxious I look back and I dont even get why I was anxious in the first place. Me and my mom try to laugh about our anxiety a lot, she tells me stories about her anxiety in college, and we crack up at it.
