New to the app, looking for support as a cancer survivor with anxiety

Hey, all! New to the app. I’m 22 and am a brain cancer survivor (2011) and have struggled with crippling anxiety for 11 years now and have had a lot of trouble finding medicine and treatment that works. Would love some people to talk to who get it and who I can bounce ideas off of ❤️❤️❤️

Congratulations!! (11 years later) The good thing for anxiety is there are many different remedies for anxiety. Herbs, meds, change of routine/diet, etc. are all great ways to combat it! Personally, I take an antidepressant, Viibryd, that also has some helping effects on anxiety, as well as Klonopin which is more an as-needed crisis/emergency med for when I feel a panic attack coming on. I’ve tried other meds too (don’t remember their names) and have had very mixed reactions, but the regimen I’m on now is the most effective treatment I’ve had. Hope you’re able to find some answers!! :)
