What I have found for me is supplements that help with the bodily feelings of distress.
this is a great list!
this was a pretty big ordeal for me, in the early days.
i would wake up, and within about 30 minutes, id be hit by an anxiety attack (in retrospect i think this was adrenaline) that would last for hours on end. usually around the time that would settle down, id be hit with crying jags. my sleep schedule was completely upside down, i had all kinds of joint pain show up totally over night. with all of that, it was really hard, for a while, to do the things i was "supposed to do", to form any kind of routine. so, at first, supplements pretty much were my routine.
Some sort of adaptogen like Ashwagandha, it helps with recovery from adrenaline. You will have to experiment to find the level that works for you.
there are a number of supplements that act as natural anti depressants: SAM-E, 5-htp, St. John's Wort. i found the most success with SAM-E, and it was considerable. after a few days of taking it, the first thing it did was make everything seem smaller and more manageable in my head; really cut down on the endless ruminating.
Passion flower, used for anxiety, stopped my daily anxiety attacks completely; it would stop their progress very quickly, and shortly after that they ended altogether. It can also help with sleep.
Melatonin got my sleep schedule back on track. incidentally, i had sleeping problems (a tendency for my sleep schedule to get wildly off track) for my whole life, until i started taking it. melatonin also gives me a bit of a rush when it kicks in that acts a bit as an antidepressant.
Ashwagandha i tried a little later on. after about two days of it, i felt a very similar effect to that of SAM-E. kinda got me over a hump.
