Do you remember the time that you would over-think something?

The time that you could not make a decision? Living with anxiety is having that all the time. Every day that I wake up I start to over think everything and I start to have what is called a panic attack. Anxiety comes in so many different levels, and I was diagnosed with one of the higher levels of anxiety.

I want to share my story about anxiety because I know there are a lot of people out there who have the same issues but do not understand what it is. I did not know what anxiety was until my freshman year of college. There are so many people out there that need that push to get help and find that one person to confide in. I am that person you can confide in. I want to be that person that people come to with their problems and the person that helps them get through it.

The one issue that many General Practitioner doctors do not understand is that people with anxiety need certain medications at a higher dosage so they can live a day to day life. If you were to go to a Psychiatrist, which is a person who can write prescriptions, they are able to understand your plight and can help you find the perfect medications that can help lower your anxiety and bring you back to a "normal life."

So my suggestion to you is that instead of going to a GP, try to find a Psychiatrist that understands you and make sure you communicate with them what is working and what is not working. Also, try to find people around you that might have the same issues and see if there is a group that you can create to help you get through the tough times. It is always best to have people around you to distract you from the surroundings that might be causing you anxiety.

My final words are this: You are not alone, and there are a lot of people out there who are able to help.
