I would look into NLP and CBT. Eventually your mind will realize your problems, and you will solve them on your own, or with the help of someone else and you will be able to get off your drug. That is my goal in the next 6 months. I want off paxil and klonopin no matter what. I would check into a hospital in a heartbeat if it would help me with my dependence.
I think most of the people with anxiety (myself included) have, or still do, stick with anxiety because it makes them comfortable. It is blocking them from doing something they don't want to do, and they feel ok with that. Sure it sucks having it, but it's stopping them from doing something else they want. Perhaps performing in life? Going out in public? Meeting new people? Who knows, but it's not there just because it's there. It's not a disease or a virus, it's something we create in our own minds.
I think we are all too smart for our own good, and in our infinite wisdom, we create our anxiety in order to protect ourselves. Who knows why, but we do it.
Too long I have lived my life depending on medication and letting myself say that I will live for the rest of my life on Clonazepam stopping me from feeling like I am going to die. All I need to do is realize I am a healthy young man and there is nothing wrong except I am scared of life. I'm already 9/10ths of the way there.
Hopefully, you all will find the way soon.
I'm off to take my meds :)
