First off, uncontrollable anxiety is a really horrible thing - I, along with millions of others suffer with this affliction. It sucks, it's debilitating and very draining. Medication helps for sure - but, I have found, over time, that a concerted effort to manage through has worked best for me. By concerted effort, I mean approaching your anxieties, one at a time - one day, one moment at a time. The truth, as I am sure you know only to well, is that anxieties, while causing real physiological effects, are in fact not real - they are emotional responses to fears, and doubts.

Over time, I have been able to start managing and responding to the irrational fears in a far more calm and collected manner - not to say I have beat the problem, but am at a stage now where I feel like I am able to manage the anxieties - rather than have them manage me.Best of luck to you.

I've dealt with anxiety/panic attacks for many years now. Mine was pretty severe when it happened. At that time, they pretty much had no idea what an 'anxiety attack' was. At the hospital they told me I needed sleep. It's been a LONG road, but I found that the best way to start getting control it it is to take baby steps. If you know what makes you feel anxious, try to test yourself everyday with whatever it is...continue to do what makes you feel anxious daily (until you start feeling REALLY anxious) then stop and give yourself a break for the day. If you get anxious when driving, try driving just a short distance...then the next daily, go a little further...the next day a little further, etc. I swear to you it will work! I dealt with this for 7 years now...in the beginning I couldn't even leave my house! I've NEVER taken any medication! I wasn't able to even leave my town for years...but started driving (passengering lol) a little further every week and have been able to actually go on trips! (Although I still won't fly lol). If you ever have any questions, please email me. I'll help you out however I can...it's a long, hard road...but you can get through it. :) Good Luck!!! ~Kendra Leigh

Try taking fish oil supplements (3 a day, no less) and a B complex vitamin each day.

Alternatively, go back to the doctor and see if you can get different medication.

Ricky Williams smoked a lot of Ganj to take the edge off his social anxiety. I'm not saying it's right, but I'm not Ricky Williams.

Wickedness, injustice, grief, pessimism, trouble, loneliness, fear, stress, frustration, distrust, unscrupulousness, anxiety, rage, jealousy, resentment, drug addiction, immorality, gambling, prostitution, hunger, poverty, social corruption, theft, war, struggle, violence, oppression, fear of death… News about these issues appear in the newspapers and on TV every day. The popular press devotes entire pages to these subjects, while others serialise articles about their psychological and social aspects. However, our acquaintance with these feelings is not limited solely to the press; in daily life, we, too, frequently come across such problems and, more importantly, personally experience them.
People and societies endeavour to liberate themselves from the distressing experiences, disorder and repressive social structures that have prevailed over the world for long periods. We only need to glance at ancient Greece; the Great Roman Empire; Tsarist Russia, or the so-called Age of Enlightenment, and even the 20th century-a century of misery which saw two world wars and world-wide social disasters. No matter upon which century or location you concentrate your research, the picture will not be appreciably different.
If this is the case, why haven't people succeeded in solving these problems, or at least some efforts been made to remove such social diseases from society?
People have encountered these problems in all ages, yet each time they have failed to find any solutions because the methods they employed were inappropriate. They sought various solutions, tried different political systems, laid down impracticable and totalitarian rules, stirred up revolutions or subscribed to perverted ideologies, while many others preferred to adopt an indifferent attitude and merely accepted the status quo.
In our day, people are almost numbed by this way of living. They readily believe these problems to be "facts of life." They picture a society immune to these problems as being nothing short of impossible-a dream utopia. They persistently and openly express their distaste for such a way of living, yet easily embrace it, since they think they have no other alternative.
The resolution of all these problematic issues is possible only by living by the principles of the "true religion." Only when the values of true religion prevail can a pleasant and tranquil scene replace this gloomy and unfavourable picture, which is doomed to continue so long as God's limits are ignored. To put it another way, people are enslaved by these complications as long as they avoid the values of the Qur'an. Put simply, this is the "nightmare of disbelief" and the link below for this wonderful book:

http://harunyahya.net/popup/Download.php?WorkNumber=256&Format=pdf

you will find how the regulation of life by the "norms of morality" introduced by the Qur'an revealed to mankind by God will banish the "nightmare of disbelief," how pessimism, corruption and social restlessness can be eliminated from society, how the individual can surround himself with an ideal environment, what spiritual and material benefits he is likely to attain by adherence to these norms of morality are gone into in detail, and finally, that the unique alternative to all these problems is the morality of the Qur'an.
So far, many books have attempted to deal with the social and psychological problems societies face. Yet, what distinguishes this book from others is its stress on the most realistic solution. It also sincerely warns people against the troublesome future they are likely to face if they fail to resort to this solution.
We expect that every reader of conscience will grasp that peace, mutual trust and an ideal social life is attainable only by embracing the values of the Qur'an and will turn to the true religion, which is Islam.
They will then happily join the ranks of those who never suffer, mentally or physically, from any of the above-mentioned complications. Around them, there will always be an abundance of favours, comfort, love, respect, peace and confidence, and moral virtues will prevail. They will know how to earn God's approval, by observing His limits and the commandments of the Qur'an. They will thus, by having faith in God, attain His mercy and at last enter Paradise.
