I'm not sure how accurate the shows were, but my only experience with that is a TV show I used to watch on Netflix where they used that for people with OCD. I found the show to be really fascinating!

Anyway, I think seeing it encouraged me to try some things even when I find them to be "scary." (I personally find the concept of trying to do one thing every day that "scares" you to be helpful to me.)

Sometimes just talking with a counselor who listens well can help, and they can give you practical tools to help deal with anxiety.

Good ideas! I love lavender!

I'm gluten-free, and I try to avoid sugar. I only use coconut sugar, and it is infrequently.

How is your healthy fat consumption? How frequently do you eat green vegetables? I found that when I eat a lot of both those things my brain feels better

.

Do you notice it worse right before your period or tied to your cycle at all?

There are other ways of managing anxiety too - counseling/therapy can help as can medication. There are also supplements that can help as well. So diet isn't the be-all-end-all for everyone

. But it's a helpful piece of the equation.
