I’ve always had anxiety but over the last year it’s got to the point where I don’t sleep and have to go to work; and where it’s bordering on psychosis. I feel anxiety is in control of my life - it feels like my tummy and chest are on fire all the time and my mind is swimming. I can’t make decisions. 

However, I work in sound and all the medications used to treat anxiety are ototoxic - and I cannot take this risk of getting tinnitus or damaging my hearing. So I’m stuck here on the edge, feeling like I may die soon as I have no help. I feel there’s no hope.
