Short back story, I used to drink heavily (12 or so beers per day) didn't matter the time of day. I went to work, etc..high functioning alcoholic for sure. Then one day I experienced my first ever panic attack, went to the ER ... everything fine of course.

Fast forward 3 years and I struggle with anxiety daily, but not panic. I'm able to shop alone, go to work fine, fall asleep fine.

My issue is I can NEVER feel happy or relaxed. My anxiety attack a few years ago kickstarted some depression I feel like.

I turn to beer, but only 2-4 cans..BUT just about daily. Not to help with anxiety so much, but depression...boredom...maybe both? Social anxiety for playing games? I'm a mess basically. 

My question, what can I do to help feel more relaxed and not so paranoid for no reason. Any herbal teas or anything? I want to avoid medicine because I feel like I'm not at a severe level for that, but I also want to avoid beer. Sorry I have been drinking so this post may be all over the place.
