Other Anyone know how to cope with severe anxiety?

[Nokumi]

I have anxiety and take heavy dose 500 mg medicine for it but sometimes that doesn't even help.

Here's how it starts. I start to have trouble breathing and so basically I'm forcing myself to breath which I shouldn't hafto! Then my hands start to ich a lot until it Swell's up to the point I cant close my hands cuz they are fat! But its only slightly noticeable when looking at it. And then I start to have a melt down and sob. Anyone know how I can prevent this?

This definitely sounds like something to discuss with your doctor or a therapist tbh.

Well as I said my medication isn't helping... And my doctor has prescribed me with 500 mg which is a high and heavy dose that someone my age should not be on but let's face it all my meds are 500 mg or higher. And also I don't think a therapist is gonna be much help...
