This is my first post on any subreddit so I apologize in advance if there's any issues. 

Recently, probably the last 3 months or so, I have felt my anxiety get significantly worse. I have never been officially diagnosed (that I know of) but I was seeing a therapist for about 6 months for general anxiety/depression and had to stop sessions due to the pandemic. I have tried to use coping mechanisms that I learned from those sessions and they have not helped at all. 

I get extremely irritable, spiral when not stimulated, hold tension in my body constantly, and several other signs of anxiety. I am also starting a job soon, so I feel that will only make my symptoms worse. 

I have a doctor's appointment coming up (just a yearly checkup), and I feel that I could really benefit from some kind of medication. How do I bring this up during the appointment? I've previously had my health concerns ignored due to my size, so I fear that this will be written off as a "lose weight and you'll feel better" problem. 

Any kind of advice is appreciated.
