Question by xyzabc: Anxiety Meds?
Well i have bad anxiety and my mom took me to this counsler who didnt help at all. He said anxiety meds are only for peopel who are depressed to is this true?. So he gave me a sheet a paper taht teaches me how to think happy thoughts… this is suppose to stop me form having anxiety attacks? I think this is a big waste of money, but my mom says to just not be anxious, OH WOW HAVENT TRIED TO DO THAT BEFORE. I wouldnt need a counsler if it was as simple as that.
Ya lol, i mean the breathing techniques are relaxing, but i cnat lie on my back and close my eyes and take huge breaths in the middle of class

you need an actual doctor not a “counselor” that is such idiotic advice… there are plenty of meds out there for you…. SSRI’s, Buspar, Inderal, etc
