Hi mopey,
What finally got me to take medication for anxiety was that I read an article that you can't control anxiety. It's a chemical imbalance. After 6 years of trying to get rid of it on my own, I finally believed it. I am so glad I did :)
My story doesn't really end there - I went on Paxil for the anxiety and ended up becoming manic. Found out I was actually bipolar. I am so glad I went on the medication though, who knows how long I would have lived like that. Now that I know what's really wrong, I can treat it with the right medication :)
Good luck to you!
Krysti
