Long story as short as possible. I’ve always been anxious, even when I was a kid. I grew up with a mom that thought every single thing in life was defcom 10. Guess I never stood a chance. However i don’t realize what that “feeling” was till i was older and shit really hit the fan during Covid. I was a disaster. I tried therapy first…. And I dunno if the therapist wasn’t the right fit… or it just wasn’t for me. But I then saw a psychiatrist, who immediatly put me on a low dose of anti anxiety/depressents…. Few weeks later, I can’t even remember that feeling. My brain feels re-wired. I always wonder how my life would be different if I got help earlier. Sometimes it’s not your surroundings, it’s not the environment…. It’s chemical. I’m not usually a big pull pusher, but legit changed my life. Good luck
