Going to try something different.
I am going to see a psychologist this week for my anxiety. i am getting tired of being medicated to deal with it. I had some type of what you would call a social anxiety pre stroke. Nothing to major. Just trouble talking in a large group settings and I had to give production status reports in our daily managers meeting which was around 50 people. This was basically the only time I felt anxiety. ( I still do the meetings) Now post stroke is allot different. I can not handle large crowds; the cafe at work was a real challenge, could not even walk in a store due to the crowds, my job is very noisy environment. I have never been depressed, just the anxiety is off the scale. I have managed my job and life for the past 5 years with zanax, it is extended release and I can tell when it is wearing off or maybe I just basically addicted. Even on the zanax I still have anxiety attacks. I think I can manage it better. Hopefully seeing this guy will give me some different ways to reduce my anxiety and deal with it better then just taking medication. I am going to a least give it a try.
