Stopped drinking coffee and alcohol for a year (also did two periods of 6 months).
Exercised heavily.
Meditated (poorly - but I tried).
I’m still anxious here and there but just normal life stuff I think. Never been depressed however.
Long term I believe gut health and mind health is very important too - ie having a good diet.
If you don’t know what living without anxiety feels like, or you don’t remember, take a Xanax or Valium several times a month. All of a sudden seeing what your goal is, and what life can be like, is clarifying.

Ignoring something doesn’t mean it’s not happening. OP doesn’t seem to be having an issue with it - just annoyed that the message is so mainstream.

Black Americans specifically in this case.
They are meaner, they are more aggressive, they are less intelligent, they are more violent, they commit more crime, their areas are way more dangerous than other poor equivalents, they prefer in group rather than out group in a way that saddens my immigrant American heart, they have incredible egos - all this and more, and this is something I learned over time rather than some bias before meeting.
Also they are incredibly, stupidly racist in caricature like fashions. They believe they are being held back by white people.
I can probably think of several more but this is what comes to mind.
This is my experience with the black American population.
Individually? It’s whatever - not like I see a black person and think any of that. It would be ridiculous - I live in a 20% plus area.
But as a whole? It’s awful - black Americans are genuinely awful. My kids go to a 50%+ school and fortunately they are in the advanced classes but fuck do I feel bad for them. One is trying to be so hard not to be a vile racist but when every bad thing that happens to you in school involves a black kid …
America needs to be 60-80% white. It’s now barely 50%.
We’re planning our retirement in the northeast or northwest.
I’m not a white supremacist - but the entirety of the world IS. Everyone wants to live in America and Canada and Europe.
And look what’s happening? The places are objectively and subjectively getting worse off.
Edit: is this what you thought?

No thank you - I’m not buying a home in an area with Black Americans.
Renting is whatever - I don’t own anything so I’m not as mad at just what I find to be a disgrace of living standards, attitudes, appearances, and safety.
Sure, help the poor. I want everyone to be able to succeed - I also want to live in a white area when I’m older and no longer an intimidating large Slavic male.
I say a lot of this because black Americans of affluence make the same issues (as do their children) as less affluent ones. Obviously less, but still noticeably higher than the rest of us.
Maybe if I grew up in Vermont I wouldn’t hold these opinions.
Can you expand?
