Stress and anxiety getting worse!?

I have had stress with my business since starting the seaon in April this year. My doc put me on valium for a while, and didnt really work, so now Lexapro (5wks so far). Some days are better than others. I started this season with an elbow injury and was given vicodin..works to some extent- short of having surgury in the middle of the season. My location where I operate my business (landscape) out of is basically evicting me- due to a rent increase that I cannot afford. I knew this was coming since May and the anxiety has been getting worse ever since. I tried to block it from my mind and procrastinate the move, but now the time is up, by Friday I have to be out. This building basically stores all my equipment- not a store front or anything. So I am moving most small stuff to my home garage and my dad;s garage- the change is chaos and hectic. I have been at this commercial property for over 6 yrs and recently the owner died and his kids want to incr. rent or sell. I wish I could afford

Buying was my plan for future, but cant do it now, due to a bad economy. Anyhow I dont even want to work or do anything right now, because I am so anxious and I cant get my mind off it. Untill they sell the property, I can store my trucks and trailers at the location (Outside)$$ but when/if they sell, now a whole new set of problems. I hate that this is happening to me in the middle of my season, its making me want to get out of business- and thats not me- I like business, but with all this goin on, I just feel like selling it and getting out. Is this the anxiety? I also hate to have to burden my dad and use his garage for strorage but he says its ok for a temp>? The property I am leaving was rented to me @ dirt cheap rent- and thats what I have budgeted for the season. OH and the kicker is its owned by my wifes Dad and aunt and uncle. They are all just greedy and have me torn up over this. I am trying to stay positive and my wife is on my side- she is so hurt by her familys doings

Therapy and medication is the way to go. I did and now things are better to handle but not completely gone.

Good Luck!

just remember u can ALWAYS overcome an anxiety disorder.. It may take some time but u'll be cured. Keep a possitive attitude and always believe that ur getting closer to the way out, even with the negative anxiety and stress experiences that make u stronger.

And defintely get tehrapy, (cognitive behavioral psychotherapy) as the success rate is very high with this therapy.

No matter what you do, do not go off of the medication. I tried Lexapro about four weeks ago, and it did not work for me. It sound like it is not really working for you, if you are getting worse. Maybe you are on the wrong medication. Although, it sounds like your life is very difficult at the moment, it is hard to gage. Talk to your doctor to see if things could get a little better- maybe you should up the dosage.
