My anxiety is really bad. I have many other problems to, but it's anxiety that causes everything. I have really bad OCD, I worry about everything, I get panic attacks when I leave the house and I also have depression. I've had these problems since I was a kid, they have got worse and this year they have got really bad.

When I worry about something I will go on yahoo answers and ask if it's going to happen, there is a notepad file on my computer called answers and in there I have all the answers to my worrying problems, but that doesn't help me, it just makes my worrying worse. If I hear someone say certain things like even jokes, I can get mad if it's something that bothers me. I can not watch the TV anymore because even if I see certain people on the TV, I will get worried and just turn it off. I also feel sorry for my self a lot, like if I hear of something bad happening to a guy I feel if it happens to me no one will care. I feel like that most the time.

So what do I do?? I don't really want to go to therapy again and I'm not sure if theres medications I can take because I can not swallow pills. Please help me.
 
Hi there TheMan! I thought I would respond to you questions! There's so many suggestions I could tell you about that might help you. Well, first off, try not to look up the things that scare you about health, ok? Even though I am now cured of my anxiety, I still don't watch scary movies because they make me uncomfortable. I hope you understand what I mean! Don't trigger the response inside yourself if you can help it!

Also, something that worked for me for many years with the anxiety/panic attacks was Biofeedback Therapy. My Mom took me to see a biofeedback specialist for several sessions over a few weeks and it completely stopped my panic attacks for several years before we found the actual cause, which were hidden food allergies, particularly to gluten. I have posted about that here several times so I am sure you could find my other posts. There's another person too who had the same problem and it went away when gluten was taken out of her diet. Anyways, seriously though, biofeedback was awsome! You can learn how to stop the anxious responses in your body and through biofeedback control those reactions. You can then take yourself out of the anxious response with the training of someone qualified in biofeedback therapy and have control! It may be something you might want to look into trying.

Another great tool is hypnosis, which I tried too for a stomach issue I was having. I had great success with that too and it helped me gain back some weight I was still missing from having a stomach problem. This method too has really good success with people with anxiety and you don't have to see a therapist for years at a time. Usually one or a few sessions is enough. My stomach issue went away during the first session!

Exercise can help too, along with taking vitamins. B vitamins are especially important in people with anxiety. Since you said about the not taking pills thing, eat a diet with fooRAB high in those vitamins. I think though too there are liquid forms of vitamins available for people who cannot swallow pills. Anyways, this is a start of some of the ideas I had. Hopefully you will find them helpful. If you have any other questions, I can try and help.
 
When I was 16 I did not leave my house for two years. I would reccommend lookin ginto yoga, deep breahting, Chi Chong, or thia chi. you really should also find a counselor you feel comfortable with to talk to. This is not something that you should not go through alone. I think it is how you view treatment. If you had a virus, you would seek a docotor right? So what is wrong with a docotor that understanRAB the mind? There are synaptic responses that may not function right that they can help you fix. Just a thought. ggod luck.
 
I agree with the last two post. I do deep meditation and breathing exercises. I also got into to acupuncture which really helped me. Also, find a local group session who also suffers from anxiety and talk with others if you don't want to go to a one on one therapy session. I know what you are going through I suffer the same thing. I worry about everything. I cry some morning because I saw something said on the news the night before. I won't even watch the news anymore. I do deepok look him up. He has transformed my life.
 
I am nervous when I talk to others about my problems though, I get like nervous and kind of erabarrassed when I talk to therapists. I've been to therapy a few times in my life and I always think the therapist will think I'm crazy, I feel crazy because I worry about such stupid stuff.

Thanks for the responses, I may try taking vitamins and I may try meditation, thats probably better then taking antidepressants.
