I've tried CBT, it helped a little, but ultimately I found meds were necessary for me to function without being absolutely crippled by anxiety.

I tend to look at it the same way as physical illness; no different than a paraplegic needing a wheelchair or a diabetic needing insulin, if my brain has a chemical imbalance I don't see a problem with medically correcting this. Just my experience and two cents.

And that’s perfectly valid! Whatever works for some doesn’t work for others.

Thanks for understanding; a lot of people really don't like medication which is fair enough, but for me at least, it helps a lot.

To bring things back to the topic, I actually use a ton of different teas for various needs; chamomile to calm down, ginger and turmeric for my persistent tummy problems, green tea for health reasons, etc.
