I've once considered a comprehensive plan to potentially set my best friend's lawn on fire. Control and communication have always won out so far.
Given that, which books have similarly anxious and paranoid characters?

i do the exact same thing OP
i'm 6'4 but whenever someone confronts me my body starts pumping out massive amounts of adrenaline and my eyes start watering and my body starts shaking uncontrollably, i also can't speak properly while it's happening
there have been brief moments where i've genuinely been able to enjoy something without this sort of anxiety and i can say they've been the best moments of my life

Meds aren't a complete solution to anything and are far from perfect but fear mongering about them is ridiculous, especially when you're dissuading people who already get little to no enjoyment or satisfaction out of their lives from taking them
