What do you do to help with severe anxiety?
Post Body

I have been diagnosed with ADD since I was 7 and for most of my life I didn't struggle with anxiety and my Adderall really helped me focus during the day and do well in school. But since I turned twenty and went to an out of state college my anxiety has spiked like crazy and I started to derealize.

Now thankfully I left that school have been seeing a pyschologist (well you know until Corona fucked it all up) and helped daignos that I have an anxiety Disorder which was nice to know. And then I started seeing a pyschiatrist and for a while for medicine that helped with the derealization (before I had to stop because the medicine was giving me a ton of side effects).

But the derealization is a whole nother story. But I've never been able to get the anxiety under check no matter what I try. It's at this point seriously debilitating. I can't draw, write alone, actaully look at my student loans, get into gaming like I used to (I just struggle commiting to playing because all I can think of is that I should be doing other stuff).

It's just like a feeling in my gut and I can't focus unless someone else is around and I just find my self isolated in my room because nothing interests me. And having to stay inside isn't really happening. So what are things others have done to work through it? Or meds I could look into with my pyschiatrist? Or like books I could read?
