I had a disastrous 45 days without medication combating against anxiety (Hypochondriasis) , but ultimately started Sertraline 50mg as advised by my Psychiatrist. Had 2 episodes of the same drug earlier ( years ago). The day i started Sertraline i have numbness & tingling going on & off in the fingers, which is making me more more anxious !
Anyone just can help me out
That’s why I have never taken any meds for my health anxiety. I would adore the relief from the constant worries but could never tolerate the side effects of the rx.
Its hard to go the natural route but I keep trying,
I find that living with the anxiety and accepting it helps me. If you Google ‘Lean into
Anxiety’ you’ll find many tips on how to just accept things.
It isn’t easy but fighting anxiety just makes it worse so I try to befriend it and to say, ‘Yes, that’s me’. Mindfulness is the same thing, well it is a form of Mindfulness really. Also ACT, which is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is also helpful.
I’ve tried all sorts of things but this is the best way for me.
I hope this helps a bit.
Wao ! Can you just help me with ACT , i mean i want to know the technique.
