Finally trying to overcome my anxiety. Please help.

For years I’ve ignored it. Just dismissed it. Said be a man and forget it. I’ve now reached a place where I want to actually do something. I’m almost 30 and I’m sick of this.

That being said, I’m researching supplements that may help. Just got some holy basil to try and thinking about trying l-theanine. Would love to hear y’all’s experience with those. As well as any other suggestions. Hesitant to try an SSRI as I did for a few months in college to help me focus and didn’t like it much. And yes I am currently going to therapy

Getting desperate.

I’ve dealt with insomnia for years now. My dr put me on trazadone a few years back and wow what a difference it’s made. I’m able to fall asleep okay now whereas I used to take till 3 or 4 am then only get 3 hours.

However, my issue for the past year now has been waking at 2, 3, or 4 and not being able to get back to sleep. Today is one of those 2 AM days 😅

I usually wake up because I have to pee. But then when I lay back in bed my mind is racing. Thinking of everything and anything. I try breathing exercises and such but nothing works. I know I have some level of anxiety especially when I’m anticipating things. I’ve tried SSRIs in the past but didn’t like how they made me feel.

I currently take melatonin 2.5 mg before bed with the trazadone. During the day I take magnesium glycinate and other vitamins. Overall my health is pretty decent.

If anyone has any tips to fix this please help. I’m so exhausted.

What has worked for you?

Is it meds?? Therapy?? Diet?? I’m so fricken sick of this. Been dealing with it since highschool. I assumed it’d go away but here I am at 29 and it hasn’t. It’s so random it’s sometimes hard to pinpoint why it happened. I just want to be normal. I want to have conversations without looking vulnerable and weak. I don’t like the idea of makeup what with being a dude but I’m getting desperate. I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy.

Campgrounds

Hello my fellow New Hampshire peeps. I’m looking for a campground that’s good to go to for a solo tent camper. Ideally the tent sites would be nicely secluded. I want somewhere that feels pretty primitive but still has decent campground features like a bathroom and shower. Having a canoe/kayak rental is a must. Would be nice if there were other outdoorsy things nearby as well. TIA!
