I used to be very anxious for specific things. It led me to take bad decisions at some point in my life (like impulsively dropping out of a prestigious school I got admitted in). Retrospectively I realize it was totally ridiculous but I was in such a state of mind that I couldn't think clearly. At that time, I didn't know it has to do with anxiety and even less that it could treated. Later on, I dated a medical student that noticed my issues and suggested me to try benzodiazepines. I know they get sometimes bad press because they may be addictive and they're not really a cure, but for me they were extremely helpful.
