| What you describe is quite familiar to me. Only my problem was alcohol and social anxiety. My daughter smoked a lot of pot and would have severe anxiety when she did. It got so bad that she finally quit doing any drugs or alcohol. She does well now and no longer finds the anxiety overwhelming. I on the other hand still fight with the anxiety despite quiting drinking. I do seek outside help form medication, a psychiatrist, and my doctor for the anxiety and right now it is doing well.
