I'm abusing my antianxiety meds and I want to stop and be. Able to go anywhere without having crippling anxiety!

Christie, you’re not alone. Many of us including me have been where you are at.
I had to get medically detoxed.
Once I did, I was able to get serious about my sober program. As I worked my program and became a member in the sober community I got stronger, calmer and life got easier and better.
Detox was several days. The best thing I did in a really long time.
I’m here if you want to talk or have any questions.
I’m praying for you🙏
I completely understand I have been there with anxiety it took me allot of practice cause I had severe socal anxiety and I had to make myself uncomfortable to become comfortable if that makes sense a little but at a time for example I went to Walmart and just to get hygiene and I woke up in the hospital because I had a severe panic attack being around so many people at one given time so what I had to do is like go to the parking lot sit in the car and then I went back to the parking lot got out of the car and then again to go to the front of the store and then again in the store for like 5 minutes or less and then slowly next time walk and get what I needed like only went there for one or two things it takes 28 days to make or break a habit even with mental health I was on a lot of mental health medicine and I'm not on anything else
Allot of drunks and drugs addicts have wild anxiety. The very fact that some call our issue associated anxiety disorder. Either way doing meds weither it be anti depressants or anti anxiety. Try to see if they work and if not try others. Getting to meetings help and I found the gym to really help to get rid of the anxiety. But never the less try all and you woll find what works and you sre very much worth it one day and moment at a time. Be your best friend and baby steps it will get better.
This is me! I understand what you’re going through. Just a word of caution. Please don’t try to stop any meds on your own. Some of them have very bad withdrawal effects. *Saying from a person that knows.
