Your website is filled with helpful information. I am truly enjoying all your insightful entries. You truly give me more hope that things will get better everyday. I hope that some day soon I can feel great 90% of the time!!! It's a daily struggle but I'm learning to cope. I find ways to help myself like learing more about anxiety, reading blogs, self help books, walking, yoga etc...though i'm still learning to shut off the "what if" chatter in my head!! and the physical sensations can be really awful at times...Anxiety really took my life for a spin, but I don't lose faith...I'm sure there's a reason why things happen in our lives...

Drugs really help some people, but I didn't want to grow dependent on them myself. And eventually when I learned how to cope with my anxiety, well, at that point I didn't feel that they were necessary. I still have bad days every now and then, but I feel great 90% of the time. Good thing that you are being selective about your treatment. Keep all of your options open and just make sure you do your research if you decide to take medication. Good luck. Hi Ria,

I’ve been able to stay off of meds because at first I was worried about side-effects… later on I became concerned that taking drugs would not allow me to “deal” with the issues keeping me anxious.

Drugs really help some people, but I didn’t want to grow dependent on them myself.

And eventually when I learned how to cope with my anxiety, well, at that point I didn’t feel that they were necessary.

I still have bad days every now and then, but I feel great 90% of the time.

Good thing that you are being selective about your treatment. Keep all of your options open and just make sure you do your research if you decide to take medication.

Good luck.

My therapist suggested medication but told her that I wanted to hold off and see if therapy and some self help would work first. So far I'm okay without meds but it's a struggle. How did you manage to stay off meds for 10 years? that's amazing. I have been battling anxiety sinc April of last year.
