i have bad anxiety that has gotten progressively worse over time. my GP prescribed me ativan, which has been helpful knowing i have it. my issue is that i’m anxious about using it because i fear that i’ll run out when i need it most (he gave me 10 of them). i was told to use it “when your anxiety is at its worst” but when i’m feeling anxious it ALWAYS feels like it’s at it’s worst. how do you differentiate between these situations? i tried to explain this to him but understand it’s not his job to understand me psychologically. how do you cope with trying to consciously know if your anxiety attack is severe enough to take drugs that can help when every single time in that moment it feels like the end of the world?
