If anxiety strikes, I can now fight back.
As a person with generalized anxiety disorder, I am realizing that I will never be completely immune to overreacting to situations by becoming unbearably anxious. Scary as that is, I am also becoming aware of the fact the anxiety, when it strikes, will be more controllable.
With the help of my anti-anxiety/anti-depressant medications (Paxil and Neurontin), when, and if, I slip and find myself flipping out, I manage to grab hold before it pushes me over the edge.
Everything must be looked at in terms of degree. There is never going to be a CURE for generalized anxiety disorder. But the fact that there are medications that can keep me level most of the time and can lessen the degree and length of my suffering from anxiety…………..this is a good thing.
