I suggest drinking coffee especially for constant low grade free floating anxiety. It's a good temporary fix. Like, if you're stressed about finding a new job or stressed about how much you have to study for a test. You become much more optimistic and less scared to face difficult situations. Every day when I get my little caffeine buzz I lose my fear of little stresses and tasks that face me. It's good to turn a "stressful" future situation into a "challenging" one without needing an ounce of willpower. This is both good and bad...
