Its my biggest challenge in my life.

I know I can go for bigger and greater things in my lfe but my anxiety stops me dead in my tracks...

How do you deal with it?

Better diet, meditation, Vitamins and Minerals. Check into amino acids that effect the blood brain barrier that enhance mood, get better sleep.

Stop giving a fukk. I have anxiety & have to try to find things to distract me. Find a focus. I'm paranoid & anxious.

The worst they can say is NO. My anxiety & my sister. We have a hard time.

Celexa has worked wonders. Now i'm trying to ween my way off this shyt. but what do you think is the source of your anxiety?
Let me tell you something.

I made this thread six days ago...and seeing the overwhelming responses and all the notifications in my mentions (over 7,000, wish I took a screenshot) made me freeze in my tracks.

On my tumblr account I have 56 unanswered messages.

On here I have 105 unanswered PMs

When I get a large volume of messages or emails or notifcations online, it actually triggers my anxiety. On twitter, on IG, on here on tumblr.

But that's the territory that comes with being a somewhat known electronic music producer and DJ that promotes themselves heavily if not almost exclusively online.

One thing that made me anxiety ridden was a former friend of mine having a falling out with me then terrorizing me on social media trying to either get me to delete my accounts or just sending harassing antagonizing messages. He made over 65 accounts on twitter just for the sole purpose of trolling me over 2 YEARS, flagging my posts, and harassing me. Everytime I would block one account he would create another. It made me anxious and kind of even made me afraid to check my notifications. And I was going hard on twitter with the music promotion it was getting to the point I had like real famous people starting to follow me on twitter..musicians, djs, producers, celebrities, actors and actresses, singers, political organizations, awareness groups, Vibe Magazine...it was crazy and I spent 10 years trying to get to that point.

Then, the guy gets me banned from twitter...it sent me into a huge depression as ridiculous as it sounds...even after I announced new albums to my fans on Twitter and everything. I thought it was over. What did it was I had a management agency send an email to me the day after it happened and I didn't even know what to do. I just went into a real dark place after a while where nothing made sense...

So I didn't do anything...then I came back on here shortly after it happened after taking 8 months off of here...the last time I posted being the day I got evicted from my apartment in Crown Heights.

I realized I had to overcome my anxiety if I wanted to take my music to new heights...

So in june and july I released two 6 track eps

Then released a new album back in October.

But yeah, social media anxiety...ever since that stalker fukked my shyt up it's made me anxious to promote my music online...cause I'm worried concerned this motherfucekr is going to be hiding trying to do the same shyt again. Like I've legit had to call the cops on this guy and report his more threatening messages to the FBI.

This is what I have to overcome..my fear of success.

I guess I just have to do it...fukk fear

First of all hotdamnokirock. I love your comedy and wish you the best. you seem like a good dude who fukked up a bit. secondly, you in the same shyt everyone else is in. 2nd or 3rd or 4rh tier comedians. You have to overcome that shyt before you can even begin to be great again.

A lot of anxiety comes from comparing your self to others or negative self talk regarding other people’s perception of you or your own self perception. Identifying the roots of your anxiety can be beneficial as well as finding ways to ground yourself in more positive thinking as those negative thoughts may appear, deep breathes, squeezing your arm.

I was going hard on social media like I do on here and people were loving it and then I had people interested in my music and stuff. Which was great it was awesome...

Like when you get to where I'm at, it's kind of hard to stay lowkey...I've done interviews for online publications, played shows, done radio, but it was when I started promoting my own original music and mixes that alot of things started happening for me.

The whole stalker thing sent my anxiety in overdrive it's actually taken me a while to really talk about it in full.

But recently more of my music has been appearing on streaming services so I realize my stuff is out there now.

I never have anxiety performing, but the whole idea of managing myself as an artist gives me anxiety at times...good anxxiety, but that stalker shyt was some other shyt that fcuked me up mentally for a bit and I had to put social media down for a while.

And my anxiety stopped me from responding to that post 6 days ago...fukk.

:wow:
I’m gonna give you a lot because I have been working extremely hard to understand certain states of my own depression or anxiety as we all suffer from some form of both.
I’ve begun to see that the world is simply your reflection or a mirror of your own perception. It’s made up of everything you’ve learned neg or pos. The beauty of that is you can manifest anything although negative energy is often much easier to be embedded in our subconscious. If you understand this critical component you’ll see that we interpret anxiety completely wrong! Anxiety is truly a guide confirming that you are on the right track when experiencing it in non life threatening scenarios. I use it as a gauge unlike what I’ve been taught and through repetition I’ve learned to accept it and push forward to the consistent prize that awaits. Push forward enough and you begin to retrain your flawed response system & understanding.

Negative thoughts are simply demons as are Hope, Fear and many other mental diagnoses. Remove that demonic energy by focusing on proven positive words in your speech & thoughts. This is why prayer is unrelated to religion but rather positive energy frequencies resonating through our bodies which are 70 percent water. All water has memories that can be cleansed. Love & Gratitude combined work best said out loud.

High Vibrational Words - thegreaterself.com



Ask yourself if the world is only a mirror of your thoughts, address it the same way you would if you had a booger in ya nose. :sas1:Would you remove the booger from the mirror or your actual nose?:sas2:

This is also a good read or listen.


:ld:It’s a lot but I hope this helps you out breh. Stay blessed and hit me up for more stuff I’m researching.

Gonna be a really corny answer but i just remind myself that i can dunk on all these people so why am i letting their opinions bother me?

For me, if i put myself in an arrogant mindset, im far less likely to be anxious. Not saying its a solution, but its a solid workaround.

If im being really braggadocios in public, im likely overcompensating. Cuz im normally very laid back and stoic.

this. your ego has a purpose.....dont let hoteps and any other new age ass mufukka tell u different. walk around knowing u can bag females and bodybag males (can u?). living a life where u ride your own dikk is oddly gratifying.

Again thanks for the responses.

I put thread out there cause it was obvious this was holding me back from putting my music out there and going 100000000000% with it. Anxiety can be crippling.

I can. But I am a humble man at the day. LOL. I'm in shape got muscle am 5'11. I guess that a plus.

And yeah, it does feel good to toot your own horn. I think about all the positives I've achieved in my life (especially releasing 66 albums) and I think to myself...what or who could possibly stop me...other than me?
