How Do You Deal With Crippling Anxiety

Boynton Beach, FL

I'm bi-polar with a severe anxiety disorder and in recovery so my psychiatrist has me on Buspar and Zyprexa and it doesn't seem to be working.

I use a senses technique I ask myself what do I hear,smell,feel,taste and it kinda refocuses my brain,I do it as often as I need,and you can do it anytime anywhere

@A MyDepressionTeam Member That's quite the accomplishment - going back to work after 15 years! WOW!!Personally I almsot did the same but in the end I didn't. I have been on buspar before it didn't do anything for me. I'm not sure if the zyprexa helps with anxiety or not. If it were temporary I'd ask for xanex but it is addicting and puts me to sleep. So I guess my advice is to go back to the psychiatrist and see if he has something else you can take. Or quit the job.
