Do you have any techniques that you have found work for you when your are anxious? What do you do in this cases?
I write as a way of helping myself to overcome social anxiety, is a way for me to flush my mind, to be able to let my thoughts come out. Most of the time the things that come out are very painfull, but I know that if I just let them out instead of blocking them, I'm going be able to give a different order to my mind and thoughts, I compare this to draining the toilet.
In a way is letting out all kind of "dirty things" out of my mind, I call them "the garbage or cockroaches" in my mind. That is a way I have found to deal with social anxiety, when I am anxious, I write about it, I write about what I feel, what I think.

I used to drink myself too, did it for quite a while, I didn't know back then why I was drinking. Now I see it so clear, I had anxiety because of my dificulties in relationships with others, that was the reason of drinking.
"It was also the start of me addressing the problem and changing my life I think so some good came from it."
I am glad you were able to do it, it takes time, is a process.
