You need support: The intensity and length of your anxiety situation suggest the need for a mental health professional. He/she can teach you strategies for coping w/your situation. An additional help is the practice of the relaxation response, a simple meditation technique in a book by the same name by Herbert Benson. Peace & good health. Continue to see doc and take meds as he/she indicates.Think holistically.
