Brain trap!

I am a 22 yr young man. I have suffered with severe anxiety and ocd since I was small. I always felt different inside and due to this I felt inadequate with myself. In my teens I expermented with pot which seemed to ease my anxiety Then I went on to other drugs trying everything.

Everyone believed I was an addict, I believed it and fell deeper into a depression Recently after years of trembling and hand shaking a therapist told me these are essential tremors I knew that benzodiazepines were the only thing that calmed my system. Of course, noone would believe me, they thought I was seeking more drugs.

Please, is there anyone out there that has had my problem? I desperately need help with this before I die. Anyone on medication that makes yo feel normal? I will try anything. Please give me a doctors name in Florida that may help.

I thank you so very much in advance.
