How do you find relief from constant anxiety 24/7?

It sounds like you have a lot going on. I am currently taking 20 mg Lexapro. I used to take 10 mg but as of a week ago I upped it to 20 mg. My regular doctor sent me for a blood test-everything came out okay. He sent me for a brain scan - and everything came out good. I went for cognitive testing and it came out just below normal. The psychiatrist at the cognitive testing suggested I take 20 my Lexapro instead of 10 mg. He thinks my high anxiety affected the outcome of the cognitive testing. He also suggested therapy, which I am starting today. I didn’t relizeb how high anxiety can affect a cognitive test. He thinks this all should help. I just want to feel a little more “normal”.
I hope you feel better

Heidi, thank you for your comments -- you focused me on the fact that I didn't actually make the point that sometimes anxiety is a perfectly normal response to a real-world issue. Normal is when that response is self-limiting. If yours is not, a therapist may be able to help you toward a solution.

Ps. I worry so much about everything and hope my 2 year old gsd doggie doesn’t feel sad. My husband who is 68 also has heart disease and had quadruple bipass surgery 24 years ago so I worry about him too.
