Get the front end rebuilt on your Dodge. Or a new set of tits for the wife, that will ease some anxiety... Note* after the $8500 check is written 😄

When I retired, my stress level dropped off the charts. It seems that avoiding a$$holes is the key to happiness! Who knew? Hunting alone or with a good friend, with my 3 springer spainels, keeps the stress level near zero. Chukar opens Saturday! My only anxiety, is which choke tube to use...  Andy3

My anxiety was finally diagnosed as PTSD from Viet Nam. I let it keep me from doing a lot of things I enjoyed , but mostly I could not stay overnight anywhere but home.
A civilian doctor did not believe in PTSD at the time (late 70's) but wanted me to try an antidepressant for anxiety. To me all anti-depressants were just designer drugs. Mostly for women!
What he prescribed for me was Paxil (Paroxetine) , it worked , but not completely. As a back up, I was to use Ativan which also helped.
I am also in the VA system, and they won't prescribe the Ativan anymore, but therapy has helped. I now can stay overnight in places I have never been without my Ativan back up, but am still on Paroxetine. Oh, by the way those if you that think I am probably drawing disability from the VA, I am not.
I agree with those of you that it is how you cope with problems is the answer to overcoming anxiety. Some things that I can't overcome is flying, sudden noises, and I have claustrophobia.
I suggest that don't be afraid of trying an anti-depressant. I have no negative effects from it! Also consider counseling, It may work.
Thanks for listening to my anxiety problems,
Ken

If your anxiety came on later in life get your Testosterone checked. Low T can cause anxiety.
