Hi, I am sorry you are feeling this way. I am sure it’s tough for you. It looks like there is some addiction to the medication you were taking. I am sorry that you are feeling like you have no control over your emotions. As and when you take medication you feel fine and when you discontinue it you go back to experiencing anxiety again. Anxiety is bodies way to tell you that there is fear in the subconscious mind which is unreleased. There might be an unresolved emotional trauma in your subconscious mind which needs to be healed which is causing the anxiety as it lies unprocessed there. The medication temporarily shuts those symptoms down but the root cause which is the emotional woundedness is not resolved. Once the emotional wound is healed in a safe space in therapy you will stop “bleeding” within. It will make you feel emotionally healthy and you will get back to your calm self. In fact you will be more self aware and feel in control of your life. You’re brave. Stay
Next Steps
I can help you work on your anxiety so your addiction towards the medication ends. Love and healing ❤️‍

The most effective solution for dealing with anxiety for me personally was waking up early. Iam not a morning person but once i tried this, i was surprised how good this made me feel. It helped me find peace and calm myself down. Having so much time in my hand I could do small things that made me happy and I felt a sense of accomplishment just by waking up early. I feel the most anxious during the night- so sleeping early really helped me tackle it to a great extent. Meditation was another thing I tried when my anxiety was at its peak. Trust me- for someone who thinks a lot, it is no joke to shut your mind down and focus on your breathing. I could concentrate for very few minutes in the beginning but my thoughts kept spiraling back. So listening to some meditation music while i meditate helped me increase concentration. It helped me analyse my recurring thoughts and gave me more clarity about them. Mostly during such times I don’t feel like interacting with anyone- thinking that nobody will really understand how i feel. It’s great if you can talk it out and rant everything going on in your mind to someone who cares to listen. Taking it all out really helps. If you’re someone who is not comfortable with addressing this with anyone, then you can try writing down all that is going on in your mind. Once you take it all out in any manner, you will feel relieved. If you feel like you are stuck between your thoughts and feel very helpless, just do SOMETHING. Take a walk, call up your friends and talk about something random, play with your pet - just do something to break that cycle that is going on in your head. Do anything that will distract you even for sometime. Take action without overthinking anything. Just go for it. Being positive and thinking right is almost impossible during such times. One of the main reasons i avoid talking to people during this time is because they may feel bad/ give some positive shit which is not what I want. You know yourself the best- try starting small and appreciating small wins. Having a motivational self-talk session/ looking in the mirror and giving yourself some positivity might help. Appreciate yourself for how far you have come and remind yourself about your strengths. Try to get a balance of the basic things that need to be right- Sleep, food, health and water level. Once you get these things in check it will show better results over time. Having any kind of physical activity or a workout routine will help you fight anxiety. Doing this releases endorphins which trigger a positive feeling in the body. It will also help you reduce stress, improve sleep and help in fighting with anxiety and depression. If all the above things do not help and you are still stuck with being anxious, then there is just one way out. Confrontation. Ask yourself what is troubling you and analyse your thoughts. Address it and not run away from it. You have to feel the anxiety, be curious about it and seek answers and find out what is really going on. There will always be an underlying message or something you’re trying to run away from and are too weak to confront that. No matter how much you run away from it, sooner or later you will have to face it. This is a long process and you need to be strong and have patience to tackle it. Lastly, know that YOU ARE NOT ALONE. This feeling is just temporary. Think of it as your body’s way to communicate something with you. We feel this only when we have lost perspective and when we are lacking inspiration. We have to just find ways to get out of the drama going on in our heads and gain perspective. Anxiety is something most of us go through at different levels. We are just too weak to talk about it. It is a part of being human- you are not alone.

Hi You have stopped taking the medicine for two months. If you are experiencing side effects talk to your doctor about it. You are going through job stress and you are not able to handle the pressure. You keep thinking about the future often. It seems like you could be experiencing work stress and job burnout. You can think of slowing down and keeping your mind calm. Take each day as it comes. The future has not arrived and you can work on living in the present. You are worried about your job and future and it is making you feel anxious and upset. To feel better consult a psychologist and talk about work stress. Whenever you have time try to keep your mind and body relaxed. Do not worry you will be fine. Counselling sessions will help you.
Next Steps
Consult a psychiatrist and explain about side effects of medicine and consult a psychologist for counselling.
Health Tips
Contact me for counselling session. Along with counselling I can suggest natural foods to calm the mind.
