Many supplements claim to help with stress and anxiety, but they are only short term solutions. Sure, benzos might provide relief today but negative emotions will be back by tomorrow, and likely even worse. Same thing goes for kava, gaba, ashwagandha, alcohol, cbd, l-theanine, valerian, rhodiola rosea, passionflower and all the other supplements recommended on the internet.

Removing the cause of stress/anxiety sounds great in theory and is often the best thing to do but isn't always possible. Sleep and exercise is said to help and it absolutely does but here I am, sleeping for 8h a day, exercising on a daily basis, eating a whole food diet and still feeling stress out
