Yes, there are so many differents methods to reduce/get rid of anxiety such as trying lavendarade instead of lemonade, going on walks to somewhere you love every day for 20 minutes and each day go somewhere with more and more people. This should help. Research different ways because there are so many.

Yes, I personally manage my anxiety without medication. Some people feel they need medication to get better and that is fine, it's a personal choice and when you have anxiety you need to do what you feel most comfortable with. For me I didn't like the idea of taking medication to feel better, that was my personal choice. There are herbal remedies, diet and exercise changes, talking or cognitive behavioural therapies, a huge amount of things you can test out and try until you find something that works for you.

Yes and no, for some people it is intense and they should get medication and if it is not intense than you should not take any medication, it depends on if you have intense anxiety or not intense anxiety

Depending on your level of anxiety, you could do very well with some psychotherapeutic techniques. Actually, anxiety is one of the relatively easy mental disorders to manage with psychotherapy. Usually, medication should be reserved for acute and severe conditions and not as a life long option for sure.

of course, there are many ways to cope without medication. daily breathing exercises help greatly, and walking around the block once a day or keeping a journal helps aswell.

I have found with experience, that hanging out with close friends and my fiance can ease my anxiety (I have anxiety when going out and thinking people are judging me) and that pets help as well.

Yes it sure can, you can either read self help books, have someone close to you support you through the tough time, and or get help from a therapist.

Yes, anxiety can definitely be manageable without medication but it depends on the severity of the anxiety. Some people can find coping methods such as meditation or therapy that helps them, and others need medication as well because that does not work for them.

The Facebook "Seen" message gives me a lot of anxiety! When I see that the person has "seen" the message, but does not reply, I start thinking about all the possible reasons why they would 'ignore' me... Does anyone else feel this? If so, how do you cope?
