Anxiety Is Making Me Wanna Cry

[↓R↑LYB]

I've dealt with a mild form of general anxiety disorder since my adolescence. I also suffer from OCD and panic attacks, both of which I'm able to manage fairly well.

However, since starting my new job, my anxiety has increased. I'm not a people person, so dealing with customers can be a bit nerve wracking at times. For the most part I do a decent job with customers but sometimes I might come across as rude, when that's not my intention. At other times, I have to restrain myself from swinging at rude customers.

For the past few weeks, I've had frequent urges to cry. I can't seem to allow myself to cry though, because I don't actually feel sad about anything. I just get these split-second urges to, which I've recently learned is a common symptom of anxiety. I guess the takeaway from all this is: it's okay to cry if you need to, but I don't feel I need to cry. I need to get to the root cause of the anxiety, and I'm not quiet sure what that is. All I know is that I'm gonna stick it out for the next 9 months, after which I'm quitting this shytty ass job. In the meantime I hope that this experience helps me grow, so that I leave more in tune with my emotions, as well as those of others.

Come share your stories with a nikka. It's somewhat therapeutic, you know. It helps to express your feelings brehs.

Commit suicide. We got too many posters on here anyways. Good luck breh

Yeah it's one of the stronger ones and hard to get off...it's for if u have severe depression and the other drugs aren't effective.

I've ran out of medicine a couple times and this shyt hit me after like 3 days started getting random trembles and brain zaps where I would feel weird...for lack if a better word

I'd rather that than the alternative of feeling like shyt all the time tho

The downside of antidepressants is that along with being addictive, they might actually put users in a state of psychosis. Once you enter psychosis you might not ever come back out of it.

I've worked in psych hospitals and nothing worse than hearing a client tell the psychiatric doctor that some fukk ass local doctor put them on that shyt and it made them go psychotic. All because the had anxiety along with depression and sought help.

If you're gonna go the med route seek help from outpatient help from a psychiatric doctor who actually knows the ins and outs of psych meds.

Stay strong, Think positive and know nothing lasts forever, even misery.

In the interim learn to use what helps you cope. Yoga, the gym, unplugging from electronics, diaphragm breathing will all help.

If you need weed, drinking or pills, do it in moderation to get a foothold on the anxiety but don't utilize it to always control the anxiety. You will become dependent on it, and have more anxiety without it. Your body can correct 90% of the shut that ails you if you can identify and eliminate it.

Semen retention for month I suggest, LITERALLY, this had major effect on state of mind for the positive,

1. Surround yourself with likeminded people outside of work
2. Start your own business
3. Find your gift and hone it. It will go before you like a shield and when people come into your presence the conversation will be directed to your comfort zone.
4. Build confidence and self esteem. The bible is the best book to read for that

So OP has bad anxiety and can't even handle dealing with people, and you suggest "starting a business"?

For some reason people in their 20's have it in their mind that starting a business is just so simple. Very few people can cut it and handle the major stress that comes with it.

Starting a business is simple and allows you to control the people who you will be around everyday. Having to take whatever jobs are available to you will guarantee that you will be somewhere everyday around people you can't "handle dealing with".

People act like starting a business is hard because they lack faith, focus, determination and vision.

Working out and trying to retrain my brain to think positive thoughts and outcomes. Also nt worrying about what I can't control. Easier said then done but it can get better!

You'll probably always have anxiety but don't let the anxiety have you.

I have mild Anxiety myself and have been thinking about trying this.



Gonna be tough though.




@hatechall I wish I had advice to help because I have mild Anxiety sometimes in large crowds, plus my sister's bf has it real bad. One thing I can tell you is that Anxiety Disorder is pretty common so you ain't alone bruh, there's strength in numbers.

I just recently discovered I have anxiety or "something similar to it," says my doctor. I moved outta state about 6 months ago, I didn't realize I was having a panic attack in the middle of work until I told someone I couldn't breath and paramedics came. After that incident, 2 weeks later it happened again, then a week after that then twice the week after that.
Since I was young I've always dealt with depression so it could more or less be due to it. I'd have these "black out" moments and be filled with such rage and trash everything around me then cry later on, not knowing what I'm upset about.
I have one of those crying moments too, it be completely random & for no apparent reason. I didn't know it was a symptom of the anxiety..

That experience must have been terrifying .

Anxiety exists on a spectrum, and I suspect that depression is simply one of the extremes of the spectrum. I'm fortunate that I've never been depressed. While I'm insecure, I don't know what it's like to be so deeply insecure that I feel worthless (this is how depressed people think of themselves).

I have a mild case of general anxiety disorder and social anxiety, which causes me to worry incessantly about stupid things. I'm trying to move forward by giving up caffeine, cutting back on nicotine, and being more in tune with other people's feelings, their needs and wants, etc.

That's not nice

I suffer from anxiety and ocd as well. I didn't get better until I went to therapy. I also took Zoloft for a couple of years. I'm off it now but I still require something to sleep.

Im pretty much in the same boat. I think I started having that anxiety around 2013 when I was taking an accelerated stats class and I woke up from my sleep scared bout the final I took and how I might have fukked up on it.

Now, everyrhing I do seems to be a race for me. Im always talking fast and not reading complete sentences and just skipping over shyt because my head is so fukked up.

Now when I entered corporate america in february my ass was literally crying commuting to work because that shyt wasnt fulfiling. Got let go from that cac-infested office into this hellhole retail job now where im finna leave now.

White supremacy is real son. shyt destroys our mental and this is a result
