Hi! Do you like essential oils or candles? The scents from the oils and the light of the candle flame calm me when my anxiety/PTSD is especially bad.

There are supplements that can help but your environment should reflect your desire for tranquility. GABA, VALERIAN, KAVA, MAGNESIUM, are a few that you can try. Meditation is also helpful.

I have had a lot of luck with l-theanine, though I think it's not good for certain medical conditions so check before trying it. I also agree with meditation (I've had a practice for years) although depending on how severe your anxiety is, mindfulness meditation can be harmful in some cases. Other types of meditation like chanting/mantra meditation are more helpful for me when my anxiety is very bad.

Hi there! I've had a lot of success with acupuncture helping me with anxiety and (self-diagnosed) PTSD. It also helps control my migraines and I get relief from most other weird symptoms I have too.

Sometimes I find it at drugstores but other times I can only find it in blends (melatonin and l-theanine but that's only good for sleep, or Walgreens has a stress relief gummy vitamin that includes l-theanine)
