How do you manage anxiety problems? It’s getting worse for me this year. With the multiple deadlines and workload, it’s hard for me to get under control.

Take a short break in the day [5, 10, 30 minutes] to do something that you love and takes your mind off of work and reset. I might meditate, go for a walk outside to clear my mind or connect with someone.

Medication? Xanax ?

like

For Xanax yes. There are over the counter herbal supplements that people try ,like theanine, valerian root, ginkgo biloba, aswagandha , kava kava, magnesium etc. IMO a prescription med is more potent and economical in long run.

What helps me when I get episodes of panic attacks is that when I realise I’m starting to get one, I’ll do the 7 11 breathing and step away from the desk for a moment. I would suggest finding activities outside of work to release stress and if your company has wellness allowance, I’d recommend going to a physiologist. These are all the things I’m doing right now which I find helpful, at least for me. Hope you’ll feel better and take care!

Buspar

Buspar can work, but it’s mild as compared to other stronger meds like Lexapro, Prozac , praxil, Zoloft. Vasodilators also help.sometimes ADHD meds help to slowdown thinking and anxiety.
There’s a lot of experimentation needed with an experienced doctor.

PS: I get my info from my pharmacist wife!

I’ve found that limiting caffeine intake and getting a good nights sleep can help with the anxiety. Yes it may seem like a lot to ask for with a busy schedule but it is certainly worth it if you’re battling anxiety

One of the primary aims of the criminal justice reform movement is to help ex-convicts re-enter the workforce by sealing criminal records, and making it more difficult for employers to judge applicants based on criminal history. The idea is that people are redeemable and capable of reform. Yet the same movement thoroughly enjoys getting people fired and publicly shaming them for making arguments they find “offensive”. A rapist is capable of reform, but not someone who makes a dumb tweet. Got it.
