Sorry to hear about your anxiety. We all suffer from some levels of anxiety as it sometimes is the drive to get us to accomplish tasks. When it is excessive, our brains do tend to take it to the extreme. Antidepressants are the top choice for long-term management of anxiety in terms of medication options. There are short term anxiety meds that are also helpful but that's another lengthy topic. More than antidepressants, I would focus on therapeutic options to help you identify and incorporate tools that will have a profound and lasting benefit for your anxious thoughts. It's all about building resilience and consistency in your approach to your mental health that will provide that sustainability. I would encourage you to consider the idea of "managing" your anxiety as opposed to "healing" your anxiety to set yourself up with a more realistic perspective. Good luck.
