That's what I usually thought, which led to me grabbing that first beer and thinking that I would settle for a "light buzz" just to numb. Always ended in blackout. It's funny because for those few hours of no Anxiety, I somehow thought it was worth the intensified few days after, when the hang over brought it back on with a vengeance.
I usually cope by living as healthy as I can, (ironic that I drink) but I exercise often, am at a good body weight and basically eat only organic, and realizing that otherwise it is not in my control if it (my anxiety stems from thinking I have heart issues, regardless of all the EKGS, Echocardiograms, and stress tests.) Reading and playing the guitar also seem to calm me at times.
