Someone just said this to me last night about my persistent anxiety

My anxiety about nothing was making me have stomach cramps, digestive issues, and just the general feeling of something off. It has been really irritating and persistent for the past few weeks.

Anyway, so, I was venting to someone about this and they really told me to just deal with it and going to the psychiatrist might make it worse.

Girl how am I supposed to "just deal with it for the rest of your life" if I'm having literal anxiety attacks and stomach cramps?
