Long time anxiety sufferer

Hi

I have been suffering anxiety for well over 16 years. The medication works for a period of time then something triggers and the medication needs to be changed. This time around I have had no luck with the medication its been 8 months and I still don't feel like my normal self, I cant handle confrontations with people as this send my anxiety up. Anyone out there that have similar situations that can offer advise.

Hi Jandidit and welcome,

Sorry to hear you are struggling. Yeah anxiety is the pits. I don't have any experience with meds but am wondering if you are having counseling? Perhaps talking to a professional can help to deal with the triggers?

Wishing you well

BTW confrontation gives me anxiety too. Maybe finding ways to deal with conflict will help.
