I am also a 23/m and I know what you feel like. One possible avenue to look into is hypoglycemia. Some people respond to carbohydrate-laden meals by releasing too much insulin and suffering a blood sugar drop, about 2-4 hours after eating, which can wake you up and make you feel anxious. I eat basically the atkins diet for this reason. You could give it a try for a week or even just a few days and see how it goes. I felt relief almost immediately. Unfortunately, I still can't get decent sleep, and have had dark circles under my eyes for years. I also take melatonin and a small dose of Klonopin before bed. You may find that Klonopin helps you sleep better than Xanax.
Good luck!
