I struggled with anxiety after my mother died and I had a job that didn’t allow me to take medication. I had a weird buzzing energy in my abdomen that prevented me from getting a good nights sleep. Here is how I conquered it -
Excercise- Mininum 30 minute jog everyday at a good pace.
Meditation- Minimum 20 minutes every day
Supplements - Valerian root, lithium, melatonin and dopa bean.
Diet- no processed food and sugar. Stopped caffeine as well. No alcohol.
Emotional- I tried to have a good cry everyday to vent my emotions. I stayed away from TV/news and connected with nature. I did research to understand the grieving process. I stayed away from toxic people and guarded my alone time with a vengeance.
The anxiety waned immediately but would creep back if I didn’t adhere to my regimen. I was cured in 30 days but continued this regimen to a lesser degree for about 6 months.
I want to add that you are definitely going through a grieving process and you probably don’t even know it. I recognize right now that I am grieving a stolen election, a threat of losing the country that I love, lost friendships over politics, I miss Trump terribly, the threat of an unknown future, the questioning of how to prepare concerning finances, safety and the corresponding decisions with all of the unknowns.
Hope that helps.

Good suggestions all around, also.
Agreed. Hang in there friend. (and friends) We'll all get through this. Stay vigilant and Pray. Also remember that this place, and basically any place that talks about current events, and related stuff, amps up those feelings of anger, frustration, despair, etc. Taking a week off as a soul-fast could help. Do something fun and escapist. Binge-watch something funny. Read some really fun books, or audiobooks, play video games offline, etc.
Really good advice and suggestions here.
I believe when you cut out all forms of Sugar, it will feel like you’re going through withdrawal, but eventually and very soon you gain a type of ‘clarity’ you’ve never had before…
This allows you to really feel your emotions, to connect your soul, mind and body into one. It can be intense, but it’s genuine. Once you form that foundation, you can now rebuild on top of that stronger foundation…
Keep going, and going.
Look forward to the unknown, as that is where you are truly FREE to design your own future.
agree completely about sugar...suggest using raw unfiltered honey at bedtime...also, as others here have suggested, turmeric capsules, and i will add cinnamon capsules, maybe ginger capsules, all readily avail at most stores...prayers for healing mind and body...oh yeah, and add magnesium, as others have suggested...
