    I get separation anxiety when my husband leaves for work. I was held at gun point and my boyfriend committed suicide in front of me when I was 18, so all of my anxiety revolves around the thought of people dying.
    I work through it though. :)
    I just started buspirone and it seems to help a lot, even though I’m almost always anti medication for myself. I feel guilty for taking something for it but it’s been 7 years so I feel like I’ve given myself plenty of time.

    Its good that you're being proactive and doing something about it.

    I’m on two different meds, I workout 6 days a week, I don’t drink or do drugs, I eat a “balanced diet” and my anxiety STILL gets unbearable some days. I just lost a great therapist yesterday. She decided to leave and I’m taking it a lot harder than I should be. My mom is disabled and I’ve been her sole caregiver for the past 10 years and it’s really scary and stressful taking care of someone alone. Between losing my therapist and my mom’s recent health problems I feel like I’m suffocating. I haven’t even worked out yet, because I feel like I’m on the verge of hyperventilating. I wish I knew how to calm the F&$! down. It’s very frustrating.

    Do you try mindfulness?
