Anxiety///venting

Rachelle

So I recently went to my doctor about anxiety because I’ve been feeling super anxious and just panicked for no reason especially at night. I was diagnosed with anxiety disorder and they prescribed a small dose of Xanax to help calm me when I need to. They also recommended for me to take a sleeping aid for daily use just so I could sleep peacefully. Yesterday I was telling my friend about it and she tells me that taking my meds is the easy way out and that I should just deal with it.... now this girl I have cut her out of my life twice already but for some reason I talk to her probably because she’s friends with my closest friend and we’re like a group... but idk how to react to her telling me I’m taking the easy way out when she has no idea what it feels like to have anxiety. She also tells me that me using birth control and tampons is going to make it to where I can’t have a baby in the future... sorry idk where I’m really going with this but kinda just want some opinions on her response to my life choices....
