I'm 32 and have been dealing with anxiety for several years. I went to the doctor for some medication and after trying several I found one that didn't give me terrible side-effects (Fluoxetine). I was on the highest amount the doctor would give me and it would work fine for several months before the positive effects would eventually wear off. Currently I am not on anything. My anxiety is however becoming crippling in a way that I cannot interact with people. I fear confrontation, conflict, and even the simplest of disagreements with anyone except my wife and child. I recently moved to a house in a small neigrabroadorhood. I came from a large town where I occupied a condo. For me the enjoyment of living in a condo was that I didn't have to interact with anyone over disputes. If someone ruined the siding of the building for example, they had to deal with the Association...not me. I felt free of any possible conflict with the neigrabroadors. Now that I live in a house, if something happens to my property I must face the individuals responsible. This has kept me up at night, reduced my appetite and has changed my personality to a very aggressive person. I have read every self-help book available, prayed, gone to church, and anything else I could think of. Now I ask others who may be suffering the same as I, for help. My neigrabroadors also have small children so I know damage to my property is enevitable. One other issue I fear with confrontation is what I might say or do because I happen to have a short fuse and a bad temper. Please help by providing insight and advice that may help me.
