HOW DO I STOP ANXIETY AND CALM THE FUCK DOWN.
I've been hospitalized twice for this and other shit. I've learned some techniques but honestly none of them work for that constant low-key 24/7 hairtrigger-away-rom-panic feeling.
I'm tired all the time from being wired all the time. I feel like I'm going insane. Doc doesn't want me on long term benzos (and honestly I don't want to either), plus he's out of town for the next month or so.
Also before you say "ayyy lmao weed" I've smoked on and off and marijuana does nothing for or against my anxiety.

so then don't go on long term anxiety medicine, take it short term and only in a dose that is required to help you.

My problem is a long term one though and my doctor is out of town.

how is it long term? If you can become comfortable with whatever is causing the anxiety then you wont need them long term. anxiety isn't caused by nothing.

I think you need to learn what clinical anxiety is Anon.

Please explain it to me Dr. 1-minute-Google.

Anxiety can be caused by an external force or an internal one. Anxiety becomes an issue when nothing is happening but you feel anxious. That's when it's called an anxiety disorder.
That's it.

Lol
What's wrong with benzo's? I have GAD, and it really help me feel better. I don't get mentally ill people's adversion to medicine. Not coming after you, I just think you should reconsider
Go do therapy m8, only way sometimes. Meds only do about 30% of the work. Therapy is the key too beating anxiety. I suggest cognitive behavioural therapy. Helped me greatly to the point that I forget I have anxiety most of the time

>Stop fapping so often
>Sleep regular hours
>Get fit
>Get some sunlight
>Eat better
>Join a club
And change your perspective. I used to be very disheartened by the thought that I won't be rid of panic attacks till I die, until one day it occured to me that fighting a(n inner) daemon until the end of the world (for you) is metal as fuck.
I'm better now.

Being properly raised by your father would have resulted in you having significantly less anxiety.
