Hi,
I suffer from general anxiety disorder. I've had it my whole life but have learned to manage it quite well. For me I've learned I can't run EQ or tren period! I turn into a depressed anxious wreck. Aside from that I can run just about any test with little issues. I'm am not religious.. Actually I'm an atheist so prayer isn't a good choice for me but living in the moment is! When you feel anxiety coming on try 2 things. First remember you've gone through this before and made it out perfectly every time!! Secondly live in the moment. Sounds lame but it can help allot. Think of where you are, what's the temperature like? take a deep breath, what do you smell? How is the chair your sitting in? Comfortable? Live in the exact moment of the present... Not what happened 5 minutes ago and not what's going to happen. Give it a shot, sounds corny but you might also find it to work well.
As far as antidepressants go ask your doctor about remeron. You can get the generic mirtazerpine (hope I'm spelling that correctly) and it works well for anxiety based depression.
