how to get rid of anxious thoughts?

I’m just so fed up of being anxious for no reason. I always doubt the talents I have. I get anxious about EVERYTHING and it’s taking over my life. I hate it. It’s like my anxiety is an obsession. Everything has to be negative in my mind.
Any personal advice on how to conqueur this?

Are you still seeing a doctor or therapist? Have you discontinued the Sertraline for good? Have you tried any other meds or different classes of drugs?
When was your last full physical exam for blood chemistry, etc?
Whenever I felt the tightness in breathing, crawling skin and the growing panic, I had to quickly distract my thinking and divert my attention elsewhere. I had to train myself to do this when I felt the onset of escalating panic. It worked pretty good along with the anti-anxiety/antidepressant Imipramine and Buspar.
A 12-step program like EA (emotions anonymous) and AA also provided the ways that others deal with anxiety and I learned some good techniques from them.
Best of luck to you.

I discontinued the sertraline because it was making me manic. All of the medications I was on were making me much worse so I’ve come off them in hope that i will be able to fight this without medication. Thankfully the anxiety is much better recently, although my mood has dropped quite a lot. Thanks for the advice.

I haven't had myself checked by the doctor but I fear I have anxiety issues. I am just worried and anxious about things especially at night and I could not get a decent sleep.
