I’ve been dealing with anxiety for as long as I can remember. Lately, it’s gotten worse, and I find myself constantly worrying about things that haven’t even happened yet. I know there are medications that can help, but I really don’t want to rely on pills to feel better. Are there any natural or alternative methods that have worked for anyone here? I’ve tried meditation, but I feel like it’s not enough. Should I look into therapy or something else? I just want to feel normal again without turning to medication.
If you don’t want to go the medication route, you might want to try therapy. CBT is pretty good for anxiety. Regular exercise and a balanced diet can also help. Also, deep breathing or yoga might be worth a shot too. Sometimes, talking to others in support groups can make a difference.
I understand where you’re coming from. Besides therapy, you might want to explore lifestyle changes like regular exercise and a healthy diet. Also, techniques like mindfulness or progressive muscle relaxation can be really effective. I hope you find something that works for you.
You might also try journaling your thoughts, sometimes getting them on paper makes them feel less overwhelming.
