indokarasan,
Do you have SAD? If so, this is a great website for support. I'm sure there are other resources out there for anxiety, but I am not personally aware of any. I was diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder, for which I took a cycle of xanax. I had panic attacks from the pressure of college, from losing a high school classmate in a violent drunk driving accident (tho I was attending college and can't claim to have been especially close to her -- the details of the accident were upsetting to anyone), from roommate troubles, midterms -- it all just seemed to hit at once.

The xanax was great... gave me a new perspective on life. At first, my dosage was too high and I had coordination troubles and slept a lot, so the drug would probably not be recommended for those with SAD sleep troubles and fatigue. Once they got the dosage straightened out, I started "letting things go." A lot of the extra responsibilities that were imposing on me just went by the wayside and... well, there were no major disasters! Life just went on... Without the medication, I never would have "let go."

Your troubles might be very different. There surely is a treatment option for you, though... but it's best to find a doctor or therapist who you feel you can talk to. I'm no longer on the xanax. Sometimes the SAD will kick off a panic attack, but I've only had one this year.

Perhaps someone here will have suggestions about websites, but I would urge you not to try to deal with your anxiety alone.

Someone else suggested yoga, and I've found that helpful. A cup of nice, hot tea... a quiet evening, sitting down for a movie... Just treating yourself kindly can help reduce anxiety levels. Counseling to get at the root of the repetitive thoughts also could really help you a lot.

Best wishes to you. Please feel free to post to let us know how you're getting along.
