I am so sick of having anxiety and nothing working. I have pushed out of my comfort zone so many times and im in cognitive behavioural therapy for the SECOND time. Im currently having extreme anxiety over going on a date with a person ive already seen several times and unfortunately I cant have a drink to calm down because my head hurts so much, a typical physical symptom of my anxiety. I also feel extremely lightheaded and dizzy and my stomach is upset and alcohol would only make me dizzier, though at times when my anxiety is less physical alcohol tends to help a lot. I have been offered pills several times but im scared to try because most people I know whos been on pills for anxiety and depression it has messed them up even more so I guess its just about finding the right thing to do that calms your mind naturally but I dont know what that would be im just ranting right now because im so tired of this shit and anyone whos experienced it im sure you can relate (leave advice if you have any pls)

    i've been there, always had an overwhelming sensation of being watched all the time, speaking with other people was almost impossible to me. the solution for me was pratice, the more you put yourself in situations that trigger your anxiety, the more used to it you get, overtime you will handle those situations quite easily. a few years ago i used to have a hard time to interact with people even my family members, but now im the manager of a team at my job.

    Buspar. Take Buspar. It is non-sedating and works well. I got lightheaded a lot and it greatly reduced after 2 months of being on Buspar. The only drawback of Buspar is that it takes a few weeks to work.
