I used to be on meds for depression, which subsequently helped my anxiety a bit. However, I hate—and I mean HATE—the idea of being on any kind of long-term medication. Even being on the pill gives me anxiety for various reasons. I also have had pretty terrible experiences with psychiatrists, which really doesn’t make me want to have to see one again. I’ve decided that I do not want to go back on medication and want to overcome my anxiety (mostly OCD tendencies and social anxiety) without medication.

Has anyone ever been able to do that? If so, how did you do it?
