I went through the same thing last year. I had crying fit's and panic attacks all The time. I was on antidepressants but it made The condition way worse. Turned out I had bipolar II. Not to say that's what you have but won't hurt to look into it. Your have to a see a psychiatrist, although I think you should see one regardless. I wouldn't see a general practioner for mental health. They don't have the extensive training so they will often prescribe the popular meds. I'm on a mood stabilizer and it's helped quite a bit. Now working to manage the anxieties. I know it's terrible. I went a month leave and lost over 20 pounds just from the stress. But see a doctor. This can be managed. In the meantime practice breathing exercises. You can find a ton online. Natural remedies are great but you should get lab work done because some vitamins and supplements can put strain on your organs. You can also see a naturopath. I believe they too can perform blood work. I know it's tough. Hang in there. Just know your mind is playing tricks on you.
The only things that calms me down besides xanax is audio meditations for anxiety on you tube. If I'm panicking, I search panic attack emergency and they guide you through it. Better with earbuds. Yes its temporary relief but when I am feeling really bad it's a life saver!
A really good workout works too.
Stay away from sugar. It causes inflammation and contributes to depression.
try to stay active and find something that you enjoy doing regularly.
Socialize
And......Remember to smile and laugh! It's healing!
If you are able. Seek out a complimentary or holistic doctor to work with you, natural doesnt mean safe and you use xanax so there will be interactions,
