Secretly dealing with a daily dose of anxiety over the past several years which has gotten worse over time. I'm "used" to it, I guess but feel like things could be better but not sure how to make it better. I don't want to take meds but have started drinking a couple of glasses of wine in the evening which I guess isn't so bad...I just don't want to feel dependent. I want to feel secure at work during the day and I want to be able to focus instead of struggling with the constant need or desire to distract myself. Over the past several months I have mostly done things to distract myself, a variety of methodologies which work to distract my mind temporarily but, it results in poor decision making and generally a waste of time that could have been done doing something to improve myself.

Are you being honest with your doctor? Secrets have a way of coming out. If we could have wine while working, it may mask things but for how long. Stick with sharing with this community, it does help.
