In either case, the solution is one in the same. I am diagnosed with GAD and self medicated for decades. Of course in the end drinking makes it all worse. I also found some freedom when I quit asking “why” i am the way I am, because it really doesn’t matter as the solution is already known. Like someone said once, if your house is on fire you don’t sit around contemplating why it’s on fire...you get the heck out and you do it as fast as you can.
