Overwhelming Anxiety. The worst part?

Subject: Desperate for Help: Struggling with Overwhelming Anxiety I hope you're well. I'm writing to you because I feel completely lost and desperate for help. Every 3-4 days, I'm hit with this intense anxiety and discomfort that seems to be linked to some hormonal rollercoaster. I've tried everything – spirituality, meditation – but nothing seems to ease this overwhelming feeling. The worst part? I end up resorting to things like masturbation or other dopamine releases, like betting, just to get by. And, honestly, I feel like a wreck afterward – ashamed, weak, and unable to think straight. It's like my brain just shuts down. I'm reaching out because I can't navigate this on my own anymore. I need your guidance to understand what's happening and how to deal with it. It's taking a toll on my daily life, and I'm scared it's only getting worse. I truly appreciate any help you can offer. Sincerely, Sarthak Vatsa
