I'm fairly new here.

I've had mild depression/anxiety for as far back as I can remember, but for some reason, the anxiety has gotten much, MUCH worse just in the last two weeks. I have never felt like this in my entire life. It's getting to the point where every minute of every day is a struggle to get through. I feel like I'm going crazy. I have trouble sleeping, and I keep getting this feeling like I've been punched in the stomach. It's almost completely debilitating and my boss is making comments because it's affecting my work. I've tried meditation, tea, breathing techniques, yoga, and none of it seems to help me calm my brain down. I have no idea how to get through it. Any suggestions?

Are you taking any meds for anxiety?

I am not. I've been worried to start taking meds in fear that they end up making me feel the way the antidepressants I took years ago made me feel. I don't want that "dead inside" feeling again.
