i do have anxiety .. and all what iam complaining of is it's physical symptoms ..i told to be on SSRIs but i didnt take them .. coz i just was fighting the idea that i shouldbe on those med for the rest of my life.. (and iam only 20)
I feel badly for you. You are not thinking rationally at this point. I urge you to confide in a trusted family member or friend, or to call a suicide prevention hotline immediately.
I hope you find some help, my friend. You have a lot of living left to do yet.
Even if you did have mild hypertension, which you most likely don't, it's not the end of the world, that's your distorted view taking hold.
You need to get some help from a trusted doctor. Take their advice and be completely up front with them.
You are only 20 and you need to enjoy this life you have, and love and accept the person you are, anxiety and all.
Of course you don't need to take SSRI's for the rest of your life, but you may find you want to if they help. A life lived in fear is a life half lived.
good luck.
