Hi there ZeeZee, I'm relatively new to all of this and living in Cape Town there are fewer people to communicate experiences and opinions, but I gave my doc a fair idea of my diet (which is relatively healthy) and he did not advise many changes. He did advise to stop drinking all alcohol or at least move onto light beer , of which I do the later (only on weekends) and it hasn't affected my anxiety at the time or the morning after. I have also stopped drinking coffee altogether, will only drink caffeine free tea and very rarely have a coke. So have moved onto fruit juice and water - it wasn't easy, but I suppose it's also healthier :)

I have also found a source of confidence and anxiety release in a martial art that I practice - it gives me the chance to take my mind of everything else and it keeps me physically healthy. So far I have felt that it has improved self-confidence and given me an upper hand with the anxiety when in a social situation, while before I would have been incredibly self aware and inward looking - I'm now learning to look more outward and it has made a huge difference.
