Hi everyone, so I have really bad anxiety. I get anxiety right before I leave to go to school. I have anxiety right before I have to drive somewhere. I have anxiety in situations. And I do not want to go on medication. Not interested at all. But is there a way I could cure it myself and just relax and be calmer? Thank you so much for answering (link)
There is no way to cure it. That's why there is medication, so that it will help you get past this. Why is medication not an option? I mean this doesn't sound like a small case, but you're literally getting anxiety when you have to just go somewhere. Sounds like you need the medication.

If you're dead set on not getting on medication, I'll just suggest some things that might help a little.
-Meditation.
-Writing in a journal.
-Get a hobby, keep yourself mentally active. Make sure you have creative thoughts instead.
-Listen to soft music.
-Don't drink coffee or soda or eat chocolate. You don't need the caffeine in your state.
-Eat healthy and exercise.

This stuff might help a little but I really do think the medication should help. You should at least try it for a little before you say no completely.

I just don't want to be on medication for the rest of my life. And it's not bad anxiety for the most part but I can feel it in my chest and usually in my heart but thankyou
