Hi! I also have anxiety. I always did. I grew up in a ridiculous environment of constant arguing. I used alcohol to help with the anxiety too. It seems to help in the beginning but really it is just postponing. Pushing the feelings down. Alcohol made me much more paranoid and excitable. Now that I am sober I am learning natural ways to deal with my emotions. Google urge surfing. This is really what changed my life so much. I am now able to go to the store or wherever I need to go without being paranoid and having a meltdown.
