Are there any natural supplements I can take to calm paranoid anxiety?

[Anonymous]

I have paranoid anxiety and anxiety attacks mainly only at night when I am alone.
I am constantly up checking the windows, doors, locks, opening the door to look outside while carrying an umbrella (to hit with if I need to).

It's gotten worse since we've been in the house. My dad works at night except on two days usually. So 5 days a week I struggle with constantly feeling hot, paranoid, scared, nervous, walking around the house, heart beatin fast. Sometimes it gets so bad, I lock myself in the bathroom. I always keep my phone screen on the dial pad at night as much as possible incase I need to call 911.

I have taken meds before, but they gave me hallucinations that would like.. pick at me telling me to kill myself.
So I don't want to go that way again.

I like to go the more natural way even for physical illness and such.

I was seeing a therapist but when my insurance got cut off as soon as I turnt 18, so did the therapist. I've yet to find another one that works with the new insurance I just got. But I plan to hopefully be going again soon.

Is there anything natural I can take to help this?

Besides medical cannabis because my doctors are really against that, and I'm having trouble finding new doctors who aren't such dickheads.

So yeah. Please nothing rude, or shaming me. I just would like some advice on natural things I can take.

You can try GABA (gamma amino-butyric acid) supplements. St. John's Wort can also be helpful (although it made me worse). You can also try bach's rescue remedy for panic attacks.

Practicing mindfulness and learning to meditate can also help. I recommend checking out the Anxiety and Phobia Workbook too.

Valerian, it's a herb and you can boil it and make tea. It helps with anxiety, headache and difficulty to sleep
