So far: alcohol, sympathetic friends. Gonna give zoloft a shot whenever they get around to filling the script.
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)
Weed's healthier. Alcohol can help with a lot of the same things, but the side-effects of terrible sleep and hangovers can make the problem worse the next day. I understand weed is also supposed to harm sleep quality, but IME it's not even close to as bad as even a light-buzz amount of alcohol, and weed's never given me a hangover. And it doesn't make you gain weight (directly—munchies, LOL, but then again I get those on alcohol, too, personally).
