I know how you feel as l have anxiety too. Some days I'm better than others. As you l also have gastritis and with the worrisome feelings you have its not good for your gastritis. And l have to watch what l take because of it. I just had a common cold and got worked up because of the medicine. I started seeing a therapist a year ago and she has helped me greatly. My anxiety is caused by health anxiety. I'm afraid to take alot of these antidepressants as they are habit forming and hard to get off. Right now l take buspirone 3 times a day. I was on alprazolam but my doctor won't fill that anymore and l was doing good with that one. I was on it for many years but she won't fill any habit forming antidepressants even though l was not abusing them. Therapist can't prescribe medicine. I wish you luck with whatever you decide to do.
