Pills usually make things worse. When I was taking benzos I think half of my brain just disappeared not to mention my anxiety was thru the rough when I tried to stop taking it. The things that help me are distractions, helping me see how negative I'm being and getting me out of my head by telling me how ridiculous I'm being...making things lighthearted and joking about it helps also and helping me see the future in a positive light usually always bring me peace of mind and a more positive outlook.
