Right now my anxiety is really bad, it's like everything is the same as it's been the only thing different is now I feel that I have a black cloud looming over myself and my life. I feel so different and not like myself.
I have been unemployed for about two months now, and my finances are running out so it's imperative that I find a job very soon.. but I don't feel confident like I usually do. I see myself failing at whatever I try, and honestly when I think about working, being put under pressure, being around other people who are going to watch and judge me I just want to curl up in the fetal position and cry. My whole life outlook is just so dark and bleak. I feel like I will never get back to how I used to be.
I feel like my anxiety is crippling me. So my question is, would it be wise to get myself started on some anxiety medication just to kind of kick start the process of getting this under control? Eventually the goal is to control it naturally without the aid of medication but right now I feel like I do not have the power to do that.
I just need some advice, and maybe to hear some stories from both sides; those of you who used medication to start the process and those who did it the natural way. Maybe describe some things that helped you get your life back on track, any input would help really.
