I've been dealing with anxiety/depression since traumatic life changes last year, including a cancer diagnosis.
I've been in therapy, but have resisted drugs. My anxiety now seems to come in"spells", including strange sleep disturbances and pre-dawn adrenaline rushes.
Every morning brings a kind of over whelming existential anxiety.
However...some days it dissipates randomly and I'm fine...even kind of happy. I try to hold on to the peaceful feelings, but of course I'm always fearing the return of the creepy spells.
So I guess my question is, does anxiety ever go away without drugs?
I do take supplements,exercise, do some meditation and yoga, and I know that these things help at least somewhat...
I'm just so tired of feeling psychologically "damaged".
Thanks for listening.
