What are the options for dealing with anxiety? I am in my 70's and recently discovered that I 'exhibit autistic traits', which has made sense of my history and current life. I have grappled with depression all my. life, with a whole range of interventions short of hospitalization. I stopped taking anti-depressants two years ago because of the dulling effect they have.
I now realize that the main cause of depression - and low-level panic attacks - has been anxiety, that constant feeling of adrenaline in my body. I have a GP appointment in a few days because I have become so disabled, but don't know what to expect or ask for. I have recently completed a course of CBT counselling, which was helpful (because the counsellor was autistic!).
Any suggestions would be gratefully received!
