Dealing with Anxiety: Medication and Coping Strategies

who else's anxiety is through the roof this week? what are ways you deal? what meds work? I got prescribed hydroxyzine and I feel like it isn't working. I need a buddy to talk me down and distract me when my anxiety is bad.

Your answer

I have been using gummies. Thank goodness I live in a state where Marijuana is legal. My anxiety has been crazy. Prices are up on everything. We either eat or put gas in the truck. There is just not enough help right now.

I have constant anxiety even without a cause sometimes. Overthinking is a main perpetrator. How I deal with it is I listen to music or watch YouTube for a little while until I can feel less stressed, I also have Xanax (lowest dosage possible) and when things get way too bad it helps me a lot. Some days when it's too hard I have to call someone close to me or hug my boyfriend and just try to think about other things for a bit. If you need someone to talk to, even if I don't know you very well just yet, you can always message me. 🤗

I live my entire life at a 9/10 on the anxiety scale if I'm not on my meds. Then I'm at like a 7.5/10. I am always an anxious mess, but because I'm so used to compensating for it, I can function.
