how do i handle anxiety without drugs

Since i have been battling anxiety, i decided not to use drugs due to the number of people that get addicted to these medications. Sometimes my anxiety reaches to an all time high and i go to the hospital. Needless to say they know me by my first name and understand what im going threw. Im thinking about trying acupuncture. If you have any drug free suggestions please foward them to me. Thanks

Natural Highs by Hyla Cass, a psychiatrist at UCLA, will be helpful.  The above post pretty much covers the rest.

not all drugs are addictive. like anti depressants. they also help with anxiety but since you dont want meds, talk therapy will help you understand what's causing your anxiety and teach you how to handle it without going to the hospital. you can also try vitamins, changes in your diet, exersice, deep breathing and life style changes. good luck.
