Took a trip to the doctor today. Got a physical and some blood taken. I've just been having issues with chronic fatigue and this was before I started subliminals, so I know it's not their doing. I just wanted to make sure my health is all good and I don't have any issues going on. If it's nothing medical then I know it's just all mental and I've got nothing to worry about.
I talked to my doctor about my anxiety and I got a prescription for xanax. I honestly don't know how much of my anxiety is mental and how much of it is biological. The xanax is more for those really stressful days or events like like job interviews, new semester at college, etc. So I'm going to be using it very sparingly and only when I really need it.
But it got me thinking about medication. I think it's a pretty taboo subject but sometimes people really need it which makes it difficult. I'll see how this run through of alpha goes and then assess my situation from there. There are some things in life we have to accept. I want to believe that my anxiety is only a product of my negative thinking and negative beliefs, but if it is biological then I have to accept that. I'd rather be happy and on medication than trying to convince myself that I'm able to fix it on my own and be unhappy.
I think the hardest part is figuring this stuff out on my own and understanding where my limits are. Being somewhat of a perfectionist I have trouble accepting the fact that I may not be okay on my own. Also people seem to think that everything can be cured naturally or that it's all in the head. It's hard to draw the line between wishful thinking and the truth.
