I went the unmedicated route. I read a book that changed everything for me and taught me to think differently about my anxiety. It basically destigmatizes the idea that anxiety is a bad thing which actually made my anxiety return to manageable levels. Eventually I stopped worrying about my anxiety and things just kept getting better and better. Every now and then I'll have a bout where I'm more anxious but I'll just remember that it's normal and it never escalates beyond that. I feel like I have a healthy perspective about anxiety now.

Check out the book Dare and see if it clicks with you.

I just tried arctic char for the first time because they were out of salmon and I actually prefer it to salmon now.

Are you comfortable in command line? There's psql or there's https://www.pgadmin.org/

Oh yeah, not meaning to hate on your suggestion, just giving a fair warning to those who are looking to take the plunge. I consider myself advanced and librewolf drove me crazy for a few days but stuck with it and found a balance of settings that I like.

The biggest example of this is YouTube. Sometimes it runs fine but sometimes videos just don't load or freeze.

The default settings of librewolf would drive the average user crazy. I'm not a fan of Firefox and use Librewolf myself but Firefox has sensible defaults for an average user that would be a net positive coming from Chrome. Just an FYI thinking of making the switch.

For additional context of those curious, Librewolf is very hardened by default. When you close your browser all site data is wiped (this can be turned off). Most people don't mess with their browser settings though... there's also a lot of little things that are disabled by default that will make people think the browser is broken e.g. canvas requests are silently denied by default, it's just not realistic for most people to use librewolf.

I closed my laptop when it asked for the Wordle of the day.

Even these games require fast reflexes to beat the timer to do all your optimal trades on time. That turned me off from the genre but generally liked it early on.

Have you tried logging in with a simple postgres client?

Damn just when I was about to try it out. Is there another game engine that's open source and simple to use for beginners?
