Question - (15 March 2017) 2 Answers - (Newest, 27 March 2017)
A female United States age 41-50, anonymous writes:

Hello everyone

I have been very anxious lately and just plain on edge - for the last six months one of my family members has been ill and I have been the sole support temporarily - although I am an adult this is the first time I have had to step up and act like one - pay all bills be responsible - and try to be brace. Deep down I feel so anxious to the point that my thought take over my life- my anxiety is out of control. I'm always panicking- when I'm not paranoid or panicking I fall into this abyss of thoughts that feel like a dead end- I feel stuck - I feel like this weird feeling of sadness that coming out of nowhere- even when I try to go out with one of my friends I just have this emptiness - I feel dull- I feel like this like "what the point to this or that" . Don't get me wrong I would never end my life but I've had this weird feeling creeping up on me this sadness that I can't make go away- it feels like those tension headaches that u can't pinpoint but is there- anyone else deal with this

I have been to a psychiatrist and all he does is prescribe me pills that numb me

Any solutions?

aunt honesty agony auntYour life changed a lot very suddenly. It sounds like this might have brought on your anxiety. Even though you are an adult it seems you where never responsible for anything until now and it has brought on anxiety. I don't think pills are the answer, I think you should book yourself in to talk to a therapist.

Maybe try a therapist instead of pills, then you can talk about your feelings and learn methods to help instead of pills that numb it.
