I think there are lot's of stuff in life, rather than drinking alcohol and drugs, you should try to do things what you like the most, see deep inside your heart , and keep busy your self with activity which you love to do.

I don't think that mixing drugs or alcohol with anxiety helps. Alcohol and drugs can cause adverse reactions to anxiety and can even amplify problems

You can, however I would try to abstain from it. I've found drinking alcohol or using recreational drugs only increased my feelings of anxiety..

When you feel anxious, close your eyes and breathe in slowly and gently through your nose for a while. Alcohol even causes anxiety. You can have hot chocolate or some tea instead.

It's not a good way for you to cope with your anxiety. It just covers up what's already there. There are many other different and healthier options to choose from.

Many people with anxiety do use these, though I would recommend that you stay away from these if you suffer from anxiety: they can exacerbate the symptoms.

Treating anxiety with alcohol or recreational drugs is like putting a bandaid on an infected wound without first using antibiotic. Sure it will feel better in the short term, but it wont address the problem directly and if left untreated, will actually make it worse.

Drugs and alcohol have been proven to increase health issues especially in those already suffering from depression and anxiety but yes; you can do so although it is strongly advised against.

Maybe you should ask your doctor, there may be some medicine your doctor can prescribe that can be helpful.

It is not a good idea to use alcohol or recreational drugs if you have anxiety. Talking to people that are close to you and understand you is a better treatment.

The Facebook "Seen" message gives me a lot of anxiety! When I see that the person has "seen" the message, but does not reply, I start thinking about all the possible reasons why they would 'ignore' me... Does anyone else feel this? If so, how do you cope?
