severe anxiety attacks

The last 8 months I've been getting more and more stressed out were it seems I've developed genereal anxiety disorder...or so I think.(The dr just wants to put me on anti-depressants...I'm not depressed I'm anxious because of the stress of life) anyways I've seen the long list of negetive side effects...I need to pay bills, not worry about wether I'll get worse anxiety from the medz. I find its been getting worse to the point were it sometimes disrupts my concentration, I get some gut pains, I have that throat bulge, my heart feels like it hurts sometimes, my breathing becomes irregular at points, I become fatigued easily and at points I lose appetite...no weight loss which is good. I try so hard to just stay positive and do breathing exercises, drink lots of water, and get a minimum of 8hrs sleep. I'd love to know what wrong with me....but like everyone else I'd rather be 100% healthy.
