Updates: Hopefully...

After consulting with my doctor and talking it out with him, I am now on a course of medication to control and balance out my anxiety. Fingers crossed.

I gave myself a break after a couple of days of intense edits. Will probably go back to tomorrow-ish.

I hope it helps. I found the first week on my medication to be dreadful. Initially, I thought I had a virus affecting my inner ear, but later evidence suggests that it was the adjustment to the anxiolytic, which just happens to have vertigo as a side effect.

edit to add - just realised, that sounds really negative. Once I got through that week, and my brain chemistry started ironing out, things improved a lot. Including one symptom that was being treated as separate completely clearing up. The overwhelming anxiety is much rarer, and the background anxiety is much more reasonable.

No, not negative. I think that's realistic enough - I am experiencing some symptoms at the moment, but they are bearable.
