Alcohol is not advised when taking librium. This medicine is recommended for use between 2-4 weeks only. It can become quite addictive. But for anxiety, whether you take medicine or not, you need to go for therapy and follow the advice received in the sessions. Anxiety has all to do with fear and your inability (or so you would tend to think) to handle the same. Fear is based on looking too much into the future and imagining things that usually do not tend to happen (usually 90% of your fears will not happen). You need to change your perception of the fearful stimulus then you can change your response to the fear. The first one is the best and will preempt the need for the second. If you are already far gone into the reaction mode, then you need both responses to counter the attack. The way we see things in life (like half empty or half full glass) is very dependent on our attitude. Attitude may have developed over many years but fortunately can change in a matter of sustained choices made and acted up on now. Sometimes, fear may have originated in childhood and your body, more than you brain, remembers the emotion and will react with heightened fear even for the slightest provocation or stimulus. Sometimes, you may not even need a stimulus! these matters can ideally be resolved in therapy only, and exclusively. Accordingly, you choose to see things as either threatening or as an opportunity. The opportunist will be positive and work with the situation to make good out of it. The individual who sees it as threatening, will, out of fear, try to avoid/run away from the situation or react with anxiety. Yes, self-belief does impact it too, but you can see that prior to that, perception will tarnish the belief system too. Here, you can see that all the resolution lies in just changing your perception/attitude, even if it is against odds. Changing your response, despite the perception, is building up of your reserves and resources to handle any contingency that life throws up at you. And life throws up situations quite regularly and heavily. For this you need to develop a fit mind and body: the former, by meditation and mind exercises; and the later, by exercises and proper diet. You need good sleep too. Included in the development of the mind is the handling of emotions, in your case, fear. These changes will give you a handle on life and your perceptions and responses. Prayer is really powerful, if you are a spiritual person. Repeat some personally framed affirmations that are geared to calming you down and building confidence. Do a personality development course too. Anything that develops you personally will be of great assistance in building resilience.

Let me be very clear my friend that i have gone through the same even after being a life-coach and corporate trainer(even we are humans) So, let me give you my share of tips Its ok to be in anxiety and overthinking. When we are happy we smile, when we are sad we frown, when things don?t go our way we get angry and when do not manage stress and time well, we get to this stage. You are absolutely normal like millions on this planet. 2. List down all your dreams and tasks(may be funny or weird ones) in a diary and start fulfilling them by this very moment because you need to spend time with yourself during the case of overthinking and anxiety. You need a change. Change is inevitable. 3. Go solo somewhere to the hills and start recording your fear and pain. Take them out. If you need a listener then you may talk to me. I have listened and spoken to more than 600 people here since Lockdown and they are happy. why? Because they did not want sympathy or solution, they wanted a listener. No one can give you a concrete solution to your problem. you need to figure it out yourself. 4. Try not to spoil your life. Your life has been given to you by your parents. we do not have any right to spoil it. I request you to not take any such step which i took to end my life. I realized i do not have any right. Its the time to give the same or better life to our parents which they gave to us when we were kid because as they grow older, the roles reversed 5. Pick up a sport or music. Its ok! shit happens! you are not alone. Spend your time learning some music or playing some sport. Talk to people who were depressed and came out a long way. spend sometime with them Talk to your family and/or parents.

First of all you should take medicine under guidance to avoid habit formation. All kind of addiction are prohibited during treatment. Consult psychiatrist and revise treatment.
