I have suffered with anxiety all my life. I started having extreme panic attacks and social anxiety in my late 40's. Fortunately I had caring and understanding providers. Fast forward to moving to a very small community with limited mental health providers I found myself in the worse case scenario imaginable. I started seeing on of the handful of family therapists in the area. I did not know the therapist I was seeing was also a drug and rehabilitation counselor and a recovering alcoholic. She accused me of being an addict of Xanax and told me that the psychiatrist I was working with would no longer prescribe ANY of my medication unless I went to treatment. I was terrified and ended up at the Mayo for what seemed like a huge waste of my time. I simply was not addicted. The team at the Mayo didn't think so either. I have lived the last four years in chaos. I am terrified to leave my home, anxiety and panic rule my life and I cannot get any help. I am now looked at like an addict. I have no idea where to go or how to get help because I live in a very remote area and am terrified to drive now. Just looking for some advice as I have no where else to turn.
