Im exacly the same. I take meds etc etc but i have found fitness and keeping busy helps me forget about it.
I went through a stage of drinking to make me forget about it. But it was still there the next morning.
Its all aboutbself asteam at the end of the day. If you feel posative and look forward to life then that keeps it under control.
Yeah another thing is I have been drinking a lot recently, I was pretty much teetotal for the past 5 years or so. I never had a problem with drinking I just didn't particularly like it so very rarely did it.
Then I found a couple of red wines that I really liked and started buying bottles, about a month ago I was drinking more or less a bottle a night.
I've curbed that though, last week I had maybe 2 or 3 bottles the whole week and I won't be buying any more any time soon.
I feel like I'm really equipping myself for this to get worse but that in itself is making me anxious, I'm concerned about putting myself into a spiral whereas I could just go in headlong and be fine. There's been plenty of times that I felt like I should get anxious and just ignored and steamed in and been fine.
