I just started on Ativan yesterday. A very low dosage. I am also on Prozac which I have been for a few years. And my doctor just changed my sleeping pills from Lunesta to Ambien.
Some of the things that has helped me battle through this is box breathing, meditation, mindfulness, and taking one day at a time. As much as I want to plan for the future, I do not know how I will feel from day to day. So, I give myself the grace and be kind to myself.
I struggled with anxiety before my diagnosis but when I was diagnosed with cancer last December and then diagnosed with stage 4 my anxiety transitioned.
