Been suffering with severe anxiety problems on and off since I was 15 or so. I wouldn't totally discount medication. Meds are never a band-aid that 'fixes' all of your problems but for some people it provides enough stability day to day so that you're healthy enough to develop your own coping mechanisms. I'm not on them right now but I always do better when I am. My problems are still there but meds help keep it from getting totally out of control and to cope with panic attacks. They're definitely not for everybody but don't let pride or shame get in the way of trying.
