Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum. My name is Whitney and I've suffered with anxiety for just over two years. I'm a freshman in college, and my anxiety attacks have begun to increase in frequency and severity over the last two months. The last week has been so severe, I've missed nearly all of my classes and have been taken to the emergency room by my roommates.
I'm really worried about the increase in anxiety attacks because I've been on medication for the anxiety for a little over a year, but no medication seems to be helping me to prevent anxiety attacks.
I'm looking into relaxation therapy and techniques (not that anything I've tried in the past has been able to help), and any short term fixes like Xanax makes me so drowsy that i am unable to concentrate or remain conscious.
I'm having a hard time admitting the weight of the situation to myself, so I figured I would start by discussing it with others.
Hello again.
Whitney
