Anyone else got major anxiety?

[mortuus est]

You can't always just "Man up" over it.

ehh , you can

if your mother was getting slapped up and clapped up infront of you, you will deffo stop sucking your finger and man up, or maybe not

 

[John Reena]

I used to, until I realized “What am I scared of?!” Now I’m good.

REAL ADVICE:

- Smoke high CBT/low THC weed. The reason weed worsens the anxiety of most is because they don’t know their strains and are probably puffing on THC heavy herb, which is prone to worsening anxiety in prone individuals. CBT mellows you and releases that constant mental weight.

- Take a hallucinogen trip. Preferably LSD. It is widely known that people with crippling anxiety have managed to cure it seemingly overnight after having a good trip and experiencing “ego death” and a newfound perspective on life. I personally have seen it first hand. There are steps to ensuring your acid trip is good and they MUST be followed because a bad trip is horrific.

-Take control of your life and set goals. You may not realize but the root of your anxiety typically stems from insecurity. You may be overweight, given up on a dream or have a deadend job, never had a gf, have bad acne or hate the way you look. Whatever the case may be if your insecurities can be fixed FIX THEM. That extra boost of confidence knowing you no longer have that nagging thought in your brain everyday about some kind of flaw is a godsend

- Building off that, increase your sexual energy. Whatever you like, men or women, introduce more into your life. It’s not even about having sex consistently that’s just a bonus. Simply being able to text or even see multiple individuals everyday and experience that “thrill of the chase” is one of the greatest morale boosters out there.

Hope this helps OP

I don't like doing drugs because that shyt gives me anxiety in itself. So I just drink.

And I've smashed chicks recently before and have a group of friends.

I think what fits me in your description the best is insecurity. Not being in the best shape not feeling like I'm living to the fullest potential and unsure about my future.

If you've never been 17 hours into an iboga trip you don't know what anxiety feels like

 

[godkiller]

I literally stress about everything.

I worry about the smallest problem to the biggest with maximum effort for both equally.

There is something that usually stresses me out to the extreme to the point I feel sick. Then the situation comes up and the best scenario happens for me so I tell myself I need to stop stressing until I can find another problem and if I don't I always feel like I'm a die soon.

I just want to enjoy life because I know one day on my death bed my biggest regret will be this anxiety that prevents me from enjoying life once and a while. Like I do fun shyt and I'm at college but I literally worry about everything.

I tend to overworry about things to the point of paralysis too. I read psychology blogs on managing anxiety. One piece of advice to minimize the importance of whatever you're worry about by remembering it has happened before, people do it everyday, and nobody thinks anything about it. Another method I have tried (and quit but might try again) is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and/or Xanax. Weed helps with anxiety too but it also affects motivation.

Ya I noticed my anxiety get much worse after moms died. Being around cacs got me on edge like crazy since. Meditating in the morning for like 20 minutes been helping a lot though

Feel ya breh, back in my grade school days I didn't have any friends at school and only two outside of school (They went to different schools) so I pretty much kept to myself because of SAS. I would get automatic F's on my presentations or projects because I was scared of speaking in front of the class. I wouldn't do group projects either, I would just go to sleep. My senior year I ate lunch in the bathroom stall so I wouldn't have to sit by myself at lunch. I never went to an assembly once. My parents thought I had ADD so I went to an office where they made me take tests on a computer and talk to a therapist. I didn't have ADD but I still spoke to a therapist for a little bit then I had to see a different lady for older teens and later I went to see another therapist who was Christian based I think. I was also on Lexapro too but none of that really helped so I stopped taking it without my parents knowing. I didn't do anything in school because of anxiety. No sports, clubs, didn't fill out an college app, only saw my counselor once in 4 years, etc. I was basically a ghost.

I use to shake uncontrollably and sweat on the train to school. I quit school, moved to Cali and got a job but it was WOAT to the point where every day I was gonna quit. Eventually it got better to the point where I don't shake but the damage is done. Still don't talk to people and kept to myself often. Also I quit my job almost two years ago about being there for 5 years. Got a new job 3/4 months ago but quit that after a day.

When I went on my 1st ever date with a co-worker I was so nervous I couldn't go to sleep.

I’ve never been officially diagnosed, but I know I’ve had anxiety and pure OCD my whole life. It all stems from my insecurities(weight, am I a good person, am I a real man, etc.) but this year hit me tough after a bad weed trip . I’m coming out of it but it took a long minute. What worked for me was therapy to help identify what was going on and more recently meditation. I just started meditating and it has been working. Helps me to push those negative thoughts to the side and allows me to be more present and mindful. One book I’ve been reading is 8 minute meditation. I highly recommend it to get you started. The key with meditation is consistency so do it everyday even when you’re up.

8 Minute Meditation Expanded: Quiet Your Mind. Change Your Life.

The only way out of social anxiety is by doing exposure therapy. And learning mindfulness. Also meditation is great because it shrinks your amygdala (which causes the fight or flight response). Yes, real brain changes.

You can't read a book. Drugs mask the issue and don't solve it. You are going to have to face your fears. You are going to have to put yourself in situations that cause your anxiety and STAY in situations long enough for the anxiety to diminish. So that your brain associates less anxiety with that situation in the future.

If you always run/avoid from that situation, you increase your level of fear of it.
You have to face it many many times, to desensitize yourself and give your brain the evidence that its all good.
The more you do this, you give less and less f**ks about what people think.

Seems like meditation is key for most so I'm a try it.

Wow this is a very heartfelt post. Regarding the damage has already been done part of your post. It doesn't have to be like that. The good thing about humans is neuroplasticity. Your whole brain chemistry can change no matter how deep those neuro connections are.

It seems like anxiety is often used an excuse for people not to do things they don't like to do

 

[Capitol]

Its simple but I don't know why.. its just hard.

I be telling myself im overreacting

but then in the back of my head i be like "but what if you're not"

Its a defense mechanism in your mind. You are not the only one like this, you probably won't be the last, but everyone has an opportunity to overcome it. You can take a couple steps to try and cope with it. Cut down on excessive stimulation, get more sun, look into herbs to mellow you out, practice breathing techniques , look into and active sport to get rid of that excess energy or exercise where you become more integrated with your body and aware of your surroundings. Practice moments of stillness where you just find comfort in being you. Find the space where problems and anxiety dont exist. Dont try to think of problems think of solutions. Dont entertain every thought you have. Do some soul searching to find out why you feel stressed in this moment, where it originated from, and if this is a recurring thing. Maybe you need a new environment or simply a creative outlet breh.

Could possibly be a case where your diet could be the issue whether that be what you are taking in or not taking in. In some cultures they have it mapped out how the organs themselves indicate where your issues lies so there is a plethora of different ways to approach this and try to solve your problem. Good luck.
