Anxiety

I had the worst anxiety for months. I've been 10 months sober and it has been no picnic. I actually took lexapro for two months and that helped calm me down. When I stopped I had to start working out and meditating. The meditating, I think, has really helped me chill out. I have not had a full blown panic attack since. I have been able to catch an onset and quickly diffuse the situation. Breathing in through my nose and out through my mouth is my best friend. I naturally do it during an onset and it works well. It's worth a shot. Hope you can master this because I know it's horrible.

So anyone else?

I have a lot of health anxiety. I have had no relief this year at all. And quit taking benzos a year back as well. They really helped my anxiety big time but I had to quit them.
