I'm 30 yr old woman and I've had anxiety for so long I'm albino and I grew up in Florida my family loves me and I know this but that didn't stop the bullies and the stares but my anxiety seems to get worse with age while my medication works I don't want to depend on it for life like now I haven't took it in days and I'm sitting here a mess and near tears I'm so tired all I can think about is dying or having cancer or worse but i don't want to be this way i have a great family and a awesome boyfriend but yet here I am !! I just want to be happy and anxiety free but I feel like its impossible and I'm scared to go to my doctor because I know soon as I go she will tell me im sick and dying im just so tired emotionally
dont stop your medication, you need it right now. you May or may not need it for life but right now you do need it.
if it helps you and makes you feel better it doesn’t matter how long you have to take it.
anxiety makes us feel like something is wrong, and causes fear to build up. that fear is not rational and not based on fact. Remember that Anxiety cannot hurt you.
The best thing you can do is make an appointment to visit your doctor. That will give you peace of mind. Otherwise you’ll just be miserable all the time. The odds are that you are perfectly healthy so go and get that confirmed !that’s the only way you’re going to be happy and have a chance at managing your anxiety. Anxiety will just get worse if you don’t address it.
I also recommend you visiting a counselor to talk about all of this. You need some support right now.

I agree, don’t stop taking your medication, nothing wrong with taking it as long as need be. No reason to suffer.
