What do/did you do to stop your anxiety? Did you seek medical help? If so what did the dr do?

I'm fighting with my mind everyday to the point I just feel crazy overwhelmed with anxiety. I create so much anxiety by worrying about the future and keep trying to compare what happened in the past. I worry so much to the point I end up doing nothing of what I planned all day or takes me forever to do because I have to walk around pacing back and forth. I try to hide it at work but feels terrible im close to getting help like medication or something but I'm worried as always

I think I agree with the anonymous guy suggesting no thoughts. I struggle with anxiety too, and while it doesn't solve my problems, I think it helps me when I actively try not to think about consequences or any following steps that comes after what I need to start doing.

Similarly, I just try to distract myself as much as I can, and squeeze in anything I know will affect my mental health positively whenever I can, like getting out - even if only a little, getting enough sleep, eating a bit healthier when I can muster it, talking to people.

Ofc, I still have huge issues that no doctor so far as been able to help me with, and I'm basically a hermit. So, take what I say with a grain of salt ^^

I turned 40 and realized worrying wasn't getting me anywhere. It was just making my present miserable.

Therapy, medication, alcohol, certain drugs and white knuckling it

I learned how to have absolutely no thoughts and it changed my life. I learned it from the book 'The Power of Now' by Ekhart Tolle. Most people think compulsive thought is normal, but it isn't.
