Hey everyone,

I'm looking for something to solve a few issues I'm dealing with.


Here's what I'm struggling with:
  • General anxiety & nervousness : I tend to panic over small things, overthink "what if" scenarios, and struggle to stay calm and composed. The "crying over spilled milk" expression describes me perfectly.
  • Irritability & anger : My temper flares up easily, even over minor things. I know this is partly situational (home environment), but it happens in plenty of other contexts too.
  • Situational stress : Social interactions (e.g. talking to girls and stop acting like an autistic man, bruh), ruminating over 15-second moments from a conversation on loop, pre-exam anxiety, etc.

Requirements:
  • No sedation or daytime fatigue - this is a hard requirement. I've tried ashwagandha, it calms me slightly but makes me tired, so I moved it to evenings. Didn't notice much effect on the core issues anyway.
  • Needs to work daily/consistently, not just acutely on-demand.
  • I'm a college student studying math, so ideally the product wouldn't fog my head or dumb me down - that's a dealbreaker. Bonus points if it actually boosts cognition and productivity on top of that.
Any suggestions appreciated. Many thanks in advance.

as someone who has resolved excessive OCD and DPDR (after a long fucking time almost 6 whole years) I'd say best thing for stress is to wake up early and head out to like buy a water bottle drink it, and return home keeps me relaxed all day. Last one I'd say you'll grow over it, I had the worst situational stress in 10th Grade and no one gives a fuck I outgrew it, best thing is to know who you are and you'll carry yourself with the ego you form from it

to fix all of them you only need to communicate much more with people
