This worked for me

My anxiety is no longer controlled with Zoloft after I weaned myself off a year and a half ago. It was very difficult, but it was important for me to do it. My anxiety has decreased a lot over the months as I do the work needed. But last week I had a rough time with panic attacks and crippling fears.
I had the old "I'm having a heart attack" feelings that had me at the ER a year ago. At that time I did all of the tests to find out that my heart is fine so I coasted on that knowledge for a week this time. None of the usual tricks were working and I was getting pissed off at my fucked up brain.
I finally got pissed off enough at the anxiety and told it to fuck off and leave me alone.
It seemed startled and crept back a bit. I felt empowered and told it off. I was angry and tired of being bullied by my anxiety.
It's been two glorious anxiety free days since then. I can occasionally feel it peeking around the corner at me and I tell it boldly that I don't want it around anymore and it slinks away.
I feel so much stronger and proud of myself.I hope this technique might work for others.
