I Have Anxiety

I have bad anxiety but it was way worse when I was younger. The sad part is it's still lingering inside my head.

Anxiety has a way of lingering. I control mine medically (legally...lol)....but even now it sometimes peeks at me with leering eyes.

@FigNewton I hate it because it's like being mentally in prison.
@FigNewton Which benzo do you use? Mine is Clonopin.
@SW-User True...but when controlled, at least you start to feel like you can move around a bit. Perhaps there's a tracer ankle bracelet attached....but things become more normal. I hope you find a means to control...either through meditation, mindfulness, medicine, or something else. :)
@CereBellum I take Lexapro
@FigNewton So not a benzo, but an SSRI. Does it really work?
@CereBellum I was originally suffering from insomnia. After some discussions, it was determined that anxiety was the major culprit as I was having mild panic attacks (after a rather major one). It allowed me to get some sleep...although my personal habits keep me awake far later than I should. Anyhow, I felt it took away too much of my edge so I've halved my dose and feel at a good balance.
