Why don’t anxiety meds work for me?

To @rick98
I am so upset with myself. I had the worst and longest lasting panic attack from last night until around 10;30 am today when I had to take one .5 Ativan. Again, I brought it on myself as I was ruminating about unpaid bills and the thought that there is no medication to help me. I didn’t want to but I felt myself slipping to the point where I wanted to go to the ER. I can’t allow that as they will ship me off to a lock down facility. I need to hold it together so I can get to the mental health office on Monday.

Yes Claudia,
I understand and I easily work myself into a state of unbearable anxiety and panic. I agree to stay out of ERs if possible because they will probably put you in a worse position. I try to find the most comfortable places in my apartment daily because of what I am experiencing with severe depression, anxiety and insomnia. I will eat something nutritious for nutrients the body needs everyday; I try to stay hydrated with juice cut with water. I try to keep sugar to a very minimum. I find different relaxation podcasts, sleep frequency music even if I don't sleep at all and try daily minute by minute to keep myself from getting panicky, easier said than done. I hope you can get through each day the best you can and make it to the mental health center on Monday to see if they can help you some way.
Always in my prayers🙏
