Time 4 New Approach?: #1) It really helps to work with a mental health clinician like a clinical psychologist who has specific training/expertise in treatment of anxiety disorders. #2) it's vital to understand what anxiety is, how it ticks so you can take back you life from anxiety when it interferes w/ your ability to function.

Alcohol is a short-: term treatment for things like anxiety, depression, and sleeplessness. It also makes all those conditions worse shortly thereafter. And, if you continue to use alcohol to treat these conditions, they will likely get worse in the longer term, too. Try a psychologist and learn to deal with life, to understand what causes your anxiety, depression, etc. A psychiatrist would look at the meds.
