Thanks, can you please expand a bit on “take action”? Especially since you say you have personal experience. Also I should mention I have some depression too, although I wonder how much of that is secondary due to the anxiety.
Anxiety is just a form of fear, you need to build confidence in your environment! My anxiety started improving after living as healthy as I can, but that didn't directly affect my anxiety, however gave me the clear mind to address my silly ways of worrisome thinking. I've noticed I think differently.
Relationship issues? Fix them or drop the relationship.
Money issues? Work hard, think harder.
Social issues? Seriously, should I care about other people presence when they mean nothing to me?
You got the idea, my diet is anti-inflammatory, high vegetables, moderate fruits, nuts, non-proccesed oils and meats. (Just thermal for the meat). Cheese/yogurt in moderation. Skipping either breakfast or dinner.
On other lifestyle aspects, trying to be productive and busy with my life, always doing something.
But the biggest advice is to outgrow your fears with actions. e.x I was worried that my memory is trash. However my main fear was how will this effect me competitively in society, can I even be financially secure?
My new way of thinking was... I've took my motorcycle license I was the best in the field. My muscles memory is fine, my long-term memory is fine too, so... Hell I can be best at many other things and compete other people with no problem, just won't be a memory contest, lol.
Anyway, just stop projecting yourself as a victim, start doing something about the things that make you anxious. The whole meaning of anxiety is to warn you about an issue. Listen to it, act too!
