What can i do to handle my crippling severe anxiety and depression without taking prescription medicine?

It will take extended effort on your part, but I heartedly recommend seeking out therapy with a Cognitive-Behavioral Program, and to further solidify your efforts, adding Biofeedback Therapy also. A virtual consult on HT can more fully evaluate this, and provide additional approaches (www.connect@healthtap.com)

It is not feasible to provide an opinion without additional history, physical examination may be some tests. It would be prudent to see your doctor to see if you may be depressed. Depression is treatable. Counter-intuitive as it may seem, exercise may help. Start with low intensity exercise such as walking and gradually increase the intensity as tolerated. Drink more water. Wish you good health!
