The only thing you have to fear is fear itself.

@JustADude Here's how to fight anxiety without drugs: Find some community. Get a network. Work for a world where this stuff is being built up and not torn down. That will do it.
And I don't mean ONLINE.
The real world needs us. Stuff is going so wrong because there's not enough people organized and working together to make a difference. We are in a lot of trouble as a civilization because community values have been obliterated in favor of GREED, HEDONISM, OLIGARCHY and HUMAN WASTE. People end up feeling as if they literally do not exist when it comes to anything meaningful. Personal hedonism and the shock value of human debasement and the tabloid mentality....make things infinitely worse.
People have this free floating anxiety to the extent our lives are made pointless and absurd from the lack of this missing essential community quality.
PEOPLE NEED ONE ANOTHER. Out in the mutual social spaces of the world. When they don't exist they have to be created. The "privatized" way of life has to be fought tooth and nail. We have to keep our nose out of the Craigslist Personals or "activity partners" column. We have to talk back LOUDLY to the debasement all over this SW rag.
I get it.
YES
I
DO.
