Hi, I’m a late teen and in my early teen years I went to a psychologist for a while for my anxiety. I struggle mainly with social and performance anxiety, but when I was younger, my main issue was the immense worry and anxious thoughts. I went to my psychologist for about a year and then I stopped, and honestly my anxiety has gotten much better and im able to regulate my worry.
However, i still struggle with physical symptoms of anxiety, like trembling, heart racing, voice shaking, dizziness, when faced with situations like public speaking. But the thing is, I don’t feel like i worry beforehand or anything. It’s like i can’t control my body from experiencing these symptoms, even if my mind doesn’t feel anxious.
I’m wondering if medication would help me. Should I go see my GP and is my GP able to see if it will help? Or is it a long process for anxiety medication, or will my GP refer me to a psychiatrist? Any other advice would be helpful 🙂
