Smoke weed (results may vary)
or get some strong booze and down a few shots before doing anything that makes you nervous

or realize that you'll die one day and none of this matters

/thread
Although the last option usually leads to an existential crisis

>>38404713
But the first option leads to addiction.

>>38404742
I'd rather be an alcoholic than suffer an existential crisis again.

>>38404694
This is fucking dumb

heres the advice you are looking for OP
If your mind is weak train your body,
if your body is weak train your mind,
and if both those are weak ask yourself why they are weak and what influences have made them so and change them.

>>38404773
You're saying that out of ignorance. When you wake up in a hospital to find out youre being transferred to a mental home after being detained by the cops during a 3 day bender then you'll know.

Sorry, functioning alcoholic*
You're right I never want to go full alcohol

Here's one.

I've been on nofap between 12 and 20 days (started out as no porn). This weekend I think a girl I'm really into just turned me down.

I just got really depressed in the last hour or so, and now I'm all of a sudden really aware of the spots on my head right above and behind my ears. It's not a headache, per se, just feels like it's pulsating and really hot.

And all of my being is telling me to jerk off right now. This is exactly when I should not jerk off, correct?

>>38404886
Yes

>>38404886
Dude no fap is a meme. If you're about to get laid you better clear the chamber

>>38404917
Disregard the second part I didn't read right. Just go jerk off

>How does /fit/ stay mentally fit

After deploying I gained a nice case of anxiety, strong aversion to crowds, and pretty bad depression. It has taken me a little over five years to get through it and return to my true self. All it takes is time brah. Be easy on your self, find a hobby meet new friends and continue to put out feelings of what you want.

Long story made short be easy on your self, learn to love your self, give it time, and keep trying.

We are all going to make it.

>>38404022
I have similar issues. My depression and anxiety feed off of one another.

Working out and eating better have helped. It hasn't been a miracle cure or anything, but I'm definitely in a better place than I was a year ago. I've started meditating recently and I've seen positive results. Nothing groundbreaking or anything, but again, better than where I was.

If you're dealing with depression or anxiety, I'd recommend staying away from alcohol(Can't say much for weed). Had a pretty shitty day a little over a week ago and I made the mistake of drinking alone. It's the first time I've done it in a while. The last thing I remember before blacking out is holding a knife to my arm trying to figure out how to cut to make sure I'd bleed out the quickest.

Also, this is gonna sound retarded, but depression and anxiety aren't something you suffer from, they're something you deal with.

>>38404022
>anxiety
KEK!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
What a fucking loser! You call that a problem? How about stop being a fucking loser?

>>38404022
Same problem.
What I do is basically exposure therapy.
Anytime I get invited out or have to do anything stressful (like even going shopping, since fuck talking to grociers) I take ~2 grams of phenibut (legal, pretty much anti-anxiety medication), some caffeine, and some Theanine to get rid of the caffeine sides.
Makes me much calmer and allows me to not want to kill myself around others, the caffeine helps me focus and actually show excitement.
Phenibut is not to be taken more than 2 times a week though, it's cheap though so it's actually already helped me as I'm a little better without it.

Seriously, exposure therapy is GOAT.

Meditate you muppet. Keep doing it and as shit-tier advice as it sounds, you'll programme your mind into being naturally relaxed and observant at the same time.

I was sceptical at first, but my anxiety has pretty much gone completely in the space of about 7 months.

Anyone have experience with tapering off of SSRI's and it fucking with your strength?

>>38408698
I feel like most rules for boards only exist to fall back on when things get out of hand.
Like how /fit/ isn't health and fitness anymore, most of us welcome health talk but we can ban shit when it gets out of hand, like when people post literal pictures of shit.

Body dysmorphia (from gyno) severe depression and anxiety

tried killing myself earlier in the year but kept fucking it up and couldn't do it (yeah bitch attempt w/e)

Now I'm just generally hating life and want to kill myself every single day

>I'd recommend staying away from alcohol

this, one or two beers are ok but I got properly drunk two weeks ago and I felt like crying with some fits of rage during the whole next week

I've had anxiety in the past and it's almost always a combination of the same factors:

>Low test & disconnection
See this video for a great explanation and potential solutions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpX051fZrps Basically work out more and fix your diet/sunshine intake. Also talks about how weed is a problem, or at least not a smart solution.

>High blood pressure
Lower your sodium intake, up your veg intake, work out more

>Lack of exercise
>Lack of sunshine
>Lack of social interaction
>Poor diet
All contributing factors, self explanatory fixes

>>38408851
>rules are only for when too much shit goes down, but OK for little shits like OP
Naw, slippery slope. Build wall etc
