I deal with crippling anxiety almost every day. I'm bipolar and have OCD so my only treatment options are anti-psychotics, neurontin and benzos (Xanax, Ativan etc)
My psychiatrist is against benzos and refuses to put time on them. She suggests I join a support group and that's it.
This anxiety is killing me. It makes my life unbearable to live. It's not something I can just cope with. I've been in therapy for 3 years, tried exercising for 2 years straight at least 5 days a week, diet, socializing with friends, meditation, relaxing. None of it has worked as efficiently as just take a benzo would.
Should I get a new psychiatrist or is she right: that the benzos would ruin my life? My life already is extremely painful to live from the anxiety and I know that benzos relieve it because I've taken them a handful of times to great effect

Medication is not a solution, it's a band-aid to get you by.
I respect your psychiatrist's decision.
She probably thinks your problem does not require drugs to solve.

Were you bullied at school and never overcame that?
Bulk up in the gym, get a good diet so you don't fuck your bones and vitals.
Go to jiu jitsu classes and beat a drunk or bum for real life power level shit.
