Alcohol temporarily helps but you pay it back with interest over time.

It sounds trite but exercise and sleeping/eating better is really the only thing we have proof that works. (zoloft can help kickstart the changes but it won't reduce anxiety long term)

I think I have more of an acute issue with anxiety, at the moment mostly driven by financial insecurity combined with unexpected medical expenses. Like what I really need right now is a few thousand dollars in travel expenses and for this precertification to go through, but failing that I just need to make it from one day to the next.
It depends on the dose.
