Anxiety and fear ruined me

Hey :)
Anxiety and fear made me paralyzed and basically took over my life. I did really well on a practice LSAT and freaked out and stopped studying completely, among other things. I'm trying to get healthy and going to my first doctor appointment this Thursday to see about this anxiety thing. I have a lot of weight to lose. I am 5'2 and 158 pounds and my goal is below 130. I am 22. I'm looking for down to earth friends?

Let's do this!

    The Dr. will probably put you on meds. Have you tried natural remedies like herbs or soul searching to figure out why? I would give that a try first its best to stay natural. Just my thoughts. Good luck and just know that everything is OK, you are enough, and you deserve whatever it is that you want. =)

    It's really good, and brave, that you're going to go to a doctor. I know a couple of people who are on meds for anxiety, and it's improved their lives a lot (although there can be issues when skipping pills or weaning off. But that's something to discuss with your doctor). You've taken the first step to taking control of yourself. :) Congrats!

    Good luck on your weight loss. :) You won't regret trying to make your life for the better, no matter the number on the scale.

    Hello! (:
    Good luck doll, I know how anxiety can be first hand. I know for me nothing natural has helped. I'm going to see a therapist & psychiatrist soon. I really have no other options at this point. I'm proud of you for getting help & taking action!

    Sorry to hear about your suffering but I'm glad to hear you that you are getting help that you need. I hope the doc doesn't simply give you meds but supplements it with guidance, therapy or support. Best of luck to you! Feel free to add me as I think we have similar weight loss goals:)
