Meds can definitely be helpful! They seem to work best when paired with therapy so if that’s an option, I would try that too

Yeah I’m with #1, therapy was a bigger game changer than meds for me💛 Some meds have crappy side effects but there’s so many out there that all work differently right down to taking care of different chemicals in your brain, so at least one is bound to work. Also I’m not assuming you’re planning to but just so it’s said, pleeeaaaase don’t self medicate it’s a really bad idea😰

No I’m prescribed anxiety meds, I just am thinking of switching to a higher dose or a new brand because I’ve been on the same one since I was 12 and it seems to have no affect anymore. I also will try therapy I’m just scared of going to them for intrusive thoughts but also I am just scared they are all talking about me to other people ((literally my anxiety but))
