| Note, I have a bias as I had anxiety through ADHD. That being said both Anxiety and ADHD have the same exact dopamine problem which means that analogues of dopamine and serotonin treat anxiety if it's cause is genetic in nature. I do not know if the poster has a genetic version of anxiety, however if they do here is what I take for my ADHD that works for anxiety: L-theanine
ashwagandha(its what is in Maca!)
L-dopa and my further twist is to take a tablespoon if raw Cacao powder in mornings as
it has two ingredients caffiene and anandamide. Anandamine is what interacts with CBD receptors, i.e. if you want to get around the TCH in CBD oil this is the way to do it as anandamine obviously is not tested for i the THC tests and there are no addictions associated with anandamine. Caution, it does not solve the emotional past obstacle you have set up for yourself. to solve that part you have to drastically change your life from consuming to doing in the form of making and creating and communicating. And yes, it is in fact a lot of work. But, I can tell if you make the honest effort towards this life-change you will be rewarded with the amazing stuff you can do once that life-change take hold.

I call it the ADD-anxiety-depression circle. Can't do what needs to be done -> anxiety about it and just everything -> depression because it's all too much -> can't do what needs to be done -> repeat ad infinitum.
I found that I must fix all three of them at the same time, because any of them can trigger the others very fast.
No anxiety? Skip straight to depression. No depression? Still can't do shit and am always anxious. No ADD (am doing everything)? Things are objectively great yet I feel anxious and depressed. It's a horrible cycle that only gets worse.
