Anxiety for me has been something I've struggled with my whole life and I also have ADHD, severe ADHD. And so to start, like when I was little I got put on this medication. I always knew I had anxiety but I didn't know what medication affected it. It wasn't until about a year or two ago that I realized that my ADHD medicine was actually causing me to overfocus and make my anxiety even worse. So something that I already had, anxiety, was being amplified and magnified because of this medicine that I had. And so when I was able to make an adjustment to that medicine and then I also got put on another type of medicine to help with anxiety, I was able to find kind of just the perfect balance where I felt like I could breathe again or I felt just happy again. And so medication, it's not the first choice but if you have to go to medication, it's a great way to go.
