I spoke to the doc today about my increased anxiety. He prescribed low dose beta blockers to reduce my adrenaline output.
Hoping it will help.
It really sucks that so many of our coherent mental responses to a stressful world can only be addressed via individual medical treatments. Imagine a world where socioeconomic drivers of anxiety were addressed collectively as well!
(But I'm super glad you sought out and are receiving the care that's available - even if we all 100% deserve better. 🫂)
@MLClark ❤️ I am also seeking talking therapy and hoping that life will be kind enough that the overall stress and anxiety will reduce as a whole. 🫂
@stueytheround medication and talk therapy have been helpful to me. Working the process and being patient is hard. Keep chipping away at it buddy.
@stueytheround @MLClark I can't resist adding more. There is a lot of horrible stuff happening in. The world, the US elections will impact the world. That's a lot to stress about. That is a rational reaction. Now pile on other life events happening that are also stress inducing. It's ok to be stressed about stressful things, it's normal. You will get through it. 💜
