<s>[INST] Hi. I don t know if this is the right place for this, but it s really starting to mess with my life. things like taking on any sort of adult responsibilities terrify me. I mean like sweating, heart-racing, make me cry becauae i am so anxious. I m 17, and i cant drive. the thought of being behind the wheel makes me feel sick. i dont have a job since the thought of interacting with people makes me nervous. What im trying to say, is that is there a natural way for me to calm down, other than just forcing myself to face my fears? (ps. sorry for my pour grammar and spelling) [/INST] Hi, I admire your positive outlook and congratulate you for the attitude. Now I guess you have depression and it could be due to financial stress. However let me give my opinion here. I think a combination therapy of antidepressant and low benzodiazepine would help you. You can try some relaxation exercise like JPMR or deep breathing exercise. That would keep you calm and relax. For this you need expert's guidance by psychiatrist or psychologist . Hope this helps. </s>
