I’ve spent most of my life dealing with anxiety. I think it started as far back as elementary school and still bothers me in my early thirties. Lately it’s been getting worse despite efforts to level myself out. 

I’ve found big adult decisions incredibly overwhelming. Thinking about anxiety sends me into a state of anxiety, which is a new phenomenon for me. I try to do the things I know to manage it, like meditation, breathing techniques, or hobbies. I’m attempting to go back to therapy again. Nothing seems to calm me down except my emergency medication. 

I fear that if I don’t get this under control I’m going to lose my partner or my job. It’s just all so overwhelming, and I don’t know what to do.
