Dealing with really bad anxiety

[Insert Name Here²]

^^^
Ignoring it isn't good, in my case it just got worse and worse.

This too

Ignoring it is what forgets up a person. Ignoring and just smothering out your emotions can be more mentally damaging than the mental disorder itself.

there is no example of anyone, ever, where all these meds have fixed them.
even the ones on the pills who claim they need it and it helps, still remind you every loving day (similar to op's posting) about how stuffty they feel. so clearly nothing works so long as they play it up.

my brother was a seriously angry person three years ago due to anxiety buildup, and he started taking meds which stopped him being such an ass
he stopped taking them for a bit and he was a much better person in general, and he's not depressed and anxious like he was
how is that not a good example?? idk what kind of kids you hung out with but they obviously had much worse problems then they thought they did

what in the forget.
ignoring/dealing with isn't going to do anything, it's just going to make it worse.

Therapy can be good. I would recommend that since you expressed issues with eating.

After some bad experiences I had some problems with anxiety.

I used to constantly pull on my skin to check that I wasn't melting.
If it felt too stretchy I would have a panic attack and sit in a cold shower for hours.

Eventually I started coping with life again but I still have bad anxiety attacks every once in awhile.
I still haven't been to a therapist.

Seek help.  If you have insurance, speak to a psychiatrist that takes your insurance.  I recently sought help for anxiety and depression and have been taking medication to treat it for two weeks now.  It's beginning to change my perspective in ways I didn't think it would change.

Seek help.  Seriously, I held out for years and now I ask myself why I haven't sought help earlier.

ativan works fine for me. It's taken as needed and kicks in pretty fast. I don't take it too often but it's nice to have around, I mostly use it to calm my brain when my ocd gets particularly bad.

I can relate OP, although I've never gone out and found a way to solve my problem I'm just used to it now.
