Question:
There have been many changes for me in the last few years, and the importance of doing well in school has increased. I have been a constant worrier since I was very young. I have talked to a couple of different therapists, but they never seem to understand exactly how stressed I get during exams, and conclude that deep breathing will solve it. Or they pass it off as a result of being over tired. Well, I've tried the breathing exervises and it hasn't helped. It gets so bad that once I panic I am incapable of thinking and even moving, and I know this isn't good. It doesn't seem to affect any other aspects of my life except my education at the moment, but I fear it will spread. I don't know what my next steps in conquering my anxiety should be, because it is a serious problem that I want to gain control over. I am not a huge advocate of medication for this. Does anyone have any suggestions or advice for me? It is all welcomed & greatly appreciated!
Answers:
It's hard to believe a physician would blow you off like you describe. You could use an anti-anxiety agent such as Xanax. Speak to your personal physician about it (only an M.D. can prescribe that medication).
