Anxiety..

yea i have TERRIBLE anxiety.

about anyting.
about social situations.
about work.
about school when i was in it.
about, again, anything.

i get so nervous and worked up i can't breathe sometimes.
i dont have the best relationship with my boyfriend so anytime we argue i get really upset and almost pass out from crying and breathing so hard. . .

i know i need help with it but its just really embarrasing to say i have a problem with it. and i don't wanna take pills for it..

 

it took me years to get help for my anxiety, but once i took that first step i felt a lot better. you can save yourself a lot of time and be able to live your life again when you just suck it up and get help.

 

Your thinking is on the right track, benzos only make anxiety worse in the long run, stay away from 'em.

It's not embarrassing at all to get help for a debilitating psychological condition, some people go to psychologists for help quitting smoking... try seeing a clinical psychologist, CBT and mindfulness are great techniques for overcoming anxieties, not just covering them up.
