I have been struggling with intense existential dread (dealing w mortality) in the last two days (I’m assuming as part of an anxiety episode) but the feelings have been uncontrollable as well as uncomfortable as they are being accompanied by some really intense and bad intrusive thoughts. I do take and use Xanax but my prescription is near running out so I’m trying to avoid taking it unless I feel I absolutely can’t handle my thoughts because it’s likely I won’t be able to get a refill until early next week. Has anyone else had this experience and maybe have tips for ways to calm myself down without Xanax?
