What are you using to combat anxiety now if not pot? Weed mostly helps me with anxiety but then other times it really doesn't lol

I'm probably gonna sound super snobby here so apologies in advance, but I'm not really "using" anything. I was in a bad spot mentally for various reasons (extremely toxic relationship for one) and was smoking weed as a bandaid to deal with everything, but it was at a point where I was consuming copious amounts of concentrated weed 24/7 and acting like a total burnout just to try to feel normal. Once I was able to start getting my shit figured out and began dealing with things in a healthier way, I didn't need to smoke anymore.

I should say that I do still smoke weed daily, probably more than I should, but I don't feel agitated or anxious when I can't go a few hours/ most of the day without lighting up like I used to. I also know it doesn't actually help with anxiety and just having that knowledge in the back of my mind helped me stop using it like it did.

TL,DR; "it's all in your head bro, just feel better" /s
