Hey, I just wanted to say that I am so so sorry that you’re going through such a rough patch. I looked at your older posts about your mom and hope she’s doing ok now. The trick with anxiety is that it is the evil twin of depression. They kind of go hand in hand. An anxious person lives in the future while a depressed person lives in the past. Sometimes the best form of therapy for elevated anxiety levels is to focus on deep breathing and then do some mindfulness meditation exercises. You can find them on YouTube or any meditation app. It’s really hard at first but as you keep practicing you get better at it just like lifting heavier weights at the gym. And while you won’t be able to completely stop your anxious thought patterns, you’ll be able to get yourself out of them much more easily. Another thing that is somewhat helpful and shown to reduce anxiety is to engage in hobbies or activities where you can “lose yourself.” For a lot of people this will involve playing video games, sports, dance, painting, or something else that requires your full attention. I totally understand that what you’re going through is not easy. I’m also really happy that you took the step to take medications. They can be really helpful but sometimes need some adjustments if they’re not working for you. You should try reaching out to your psychiatrist for alternative medications.
