Who /anxiety/ here? Is it an international feel?

I suffer from really bad anxiety and delusional paranoia and I think the anxiety exacerbates the paranoia. It's been pretty tough on me

I have really bad hayfever

It's like being hungover all day, you don't feel anxiety, just a confusing fog

>>72597606
How do you cope? I smoke, drink and meditate.
It works most of the time.

It's only Italian. Sorry Piero.

>>72597626
That's it, I don't cope. It's been progressively getting worser recently, I don't know what is going to happen next. I smoke too, I do amphetamines as well.

>>72597606
this, kind of

>>72597656
I'm soon to start an amphetamine-based therapy. I've tried everything so far.

I get heart palpatations and a constant fear of going outside or in a situation where something is demanded of me responsibilities etc

My heart pounds in my chest in the mornings before any day where I'm expected to work or talk to other people, makes me a really bitter person because I am always tense and in a rush to get somewhere/get home. A gunman could shoot someone infront of me and I'd probably feel more scared walking into a temp agency full of polish. I am a weak fuck who is effected by meme "anxiety" meant for women.

Constantly on edge constantly wanting to have an easy way out or go back home and not see another person for 10 years. btw I have typed up an ebin fantasy of mine which involves Anya Taylor-Joy I'll be sharing it tomorrow

Anyone else get pressure in the forehead/eyebrow/nose area from anxiety? Specifically social.
Though I'm taking cipralex and it seems to be better when I get the right amount of sleep for enough days in a row.

>>72597950
Iktf, if I have to do something or go somewhere the next day I will probably not sleep

>>72597587

What strategies have you guys tried to reduce your anxiety?

I plan on watching an episode of Farscape, Life or maybe just falling asleep to some ASMR maybe Moonglove or Ardra. I don't really want to waste an episode of Farscape though especially now that the final season is widescreen compared to 4:3 used for the past 3 seasons.

There is strength in anxiety if you can harness it correctly. You are hyper aware of the reality we live in, and are overwhelmed by it. However if you can control your nerves you can have deeper insight than your peers and use it to achieve success in life.

I literally use to have such bad anxiety that it would induce hallucinations, but I've learned to control it and I'm pretty successful I suppose.

>>72598505
Specifically how have you controlled it?
I've been trying to think of myself being in the past rather than the present recently, because the past is comfy and the future is frightening.

>>72597587
I get it after a heavy night of drinking, and stays a bit for up to a few days post hangover.

nothing gave me anxiety more than rushing 48 hours under deadline of thesis.

being hold in knife and gunpoint by niggers, is nothing compared to these last semester's bullshit.

>>72598558
It's hard to say. I sort of rewired myself over the years. It's been years long battle for sure.

Eating healthy and exercising is very important, but I also follow basic principles of Stoicism which helped me conquer my fear. Learning from failure after failure is a success in it's own way.

Also, I did 3 foreign exchanges where I did absolutely cringy shit as I developed as a person and this was a social playground away from home..

When I have terrible fear (like a big presentation) I sort of hype myself up until I get this adrenaline rush and all the fear turns to focused rage in a way.. I don't know how to explain it.

I'm probably autistic to some degree btw. I accepted that and adapted to myself rather than adapt to others (to a reasonable degree)

>>72598505

Never heard it articulated this way. I've pondered that for many years, never heard it in words that made sense until now. You're correct. Although I don't think all people that have what psychs call "anxiety" are inherently more perceptive. Some are.

>>72598318
Lifting, healthy eating and avoiding heavy drinking (>>72598580) is me

I went way too hard on the daily binge drinking at uni and it has resulted in the awakening of anxiety. Not a single regret though because I had such an amazing time at uni. Anxiety only really kicks in during a hangover/if I've not been to the gym for a week

>>72598682
University unironically fucked me up

>>72598742
Yes, anxiety can make us perceive realities that do not exist. But if you use keep your perceptive abilities on track with reality you can perceive realities others cannot.

Madness and greatness are two sides of the same coin. It's why great leaders seem to go nuts so easily. They lose track of reality and their astute perceptive depth goes haywire..

>>72598742
my anxiety (when it rears it's face) is internal. I seem to be in very good tune with my body and what can trigger anxiety is a negative change taking place in my body.

>>72598754

Failure. I'm Russian/Jewish and believe it is genetic memory to achieve success in life. Not even joking. Brazilians are lethargic animals that have no drive to influence the environment around them; they only react to the environment. This is why Jews, while at a very small percent of the population, are the wealthiest and most influential. There are other things that come to play but this innate drive to succeed is a large reason for Jewish success.

You're not answering the question pussy. What are you afraid of? You're going on and on about the Jews but you're not everyone what's got you psyched out.

Anyone ever have a bad day but you can't be visibly sad or complain because you're scared people won't like you unless you're happy? Like, I;ve have terrible days but had to keep a smile and keep from complaining because people might stop talking to me if I stop being happy for even a second.

No. fussing about some bullshit social phenoma like worrying about people not liking you is also perceiving a warped reality.

>>72597587
Exercising at least once a day helps a lot.

>>72597587
It's just intense repression. I'm stuck at home because I'm broke, and my parents believe everything earthly is a sin, so I sit still and pretend I'm not engaging in sinful activity.

Ironically, the one thing my parents want me to pursue, Islam, I don't because I think it's bullshit.

I haven't gone outside for 5 months. I've subsisted on halal bologna sandwiches.

I have really bad social anxiety. I've had severe panic attacks back in high school, that's when they started. I would start feeling extremely anxious and start sweating a lot and I would turn beet red. Of course people noticed and stared which made it even more uncomfortable... I don't know how I even graduated, it was a living hell for me. I still have the attacks but not nearly as often and not as severe. Also pills help.

>>72603245

>>72605294
The whole panic attack is triggered by the fight or flight system that was placed in your brain thousands of years ago, when people were living in caves and were hunting. Once they had the fight or flight feeling they would feel adrenaline shooting throught they're bodies and be more active.

Now, in modern times we still have it and some people have these fight or flight attacks for no reason or sometimes it triggers certain events.

It is 4:00 am in the morning, still awake and shitposting, and I am supposed to finish 3 expositions for today. Need to get out of my house at 6:00 am. I haven't finished them and I still don't feel like it. Probably going to skip mu first class just so I can finish some other work for later on, for example. Not pressured at all btw.

Ever since I stopped caring I just don't do the things I am supposed to. It affects my life overall, but I still don't see what difference does it make.

I'm just too tired of everything to keep caring. I was more productive when I was anxious, but now I don't see the benefit, I don't want to live my entire life like that. And if this leads me to being homeless or something, so be it, I seriously no longer care.

Anxiety and depression here, with a nice dose of depersonalisation too (this last one is absolutely horrible).

It's crazy because in some ways they're almost opposite, so it's an inexplicable mess of symptoms for me usually.

I tried medication once, but I took a single pill and 2 hours later I was throwing up, my jaw was shaking like crazy, and I felt dizzy and out of place. It was fucking horrible and the following week or so after that it actually made my symptoms worse. Just from 1 fucking pill.

I guess they fucked up on the dosage for me because I later read that people were taking much less than what was prescribed to me, but after that ordeal I couldn't be bothered to go back to the psychiatrist.

>>72607722
depersonalisation is horrible, i mean if i look at some objects it just feels so fake. i know it's real but it's like being in a dream and experiencing it like that. Such an horrible feeling.

>>72597626

No but really it's like having died without passing on and the chronic anxiety and the panic attacks it brings 2-3 times a day are so intense that I've been to the ER 4 times this year already.
I'm considering buying opioids off the street now since my old fart of a doctor basically says "it's all in ur hed jus b urself lol" and I don't really want to kms but when my heart reaches 180, jumps 3 beats in a row, with auditory hallucinations, extreme distress and I'm sweating a weeks worth of sweat in 2 minutes it doesn't really help being told that "you're not crazy".

>>72612497
That sounds horrible. If you're having such bad panic attacks you need to see a psychiatrist and maybe get medication.

I get nervous about it, but it's the LACK of feeling, enjoying, noticing, seeing, hearing, and living that makes depersonalisation so bad for me.

It's like I'm not here, like everything I do is automatic but I just don't notice, like my head is somewhere else. I went for a walk in the woods the other day and felt absolutely nothing. It's like time is just going so fast but I can't keep up or something.

>>72613191
this. i also have terrible mood swings, i can feel really fucking happy for no reason at all and then i can feel like someone close to me died or something

I dated a girl with mild social anxiety, no panic attacks but if I wanted her to talk to a new person or go into a place she wasn't comfortable in I'd have to physically drag her over into the place or conversation and constantly prompt her to speak.. She was a sweet girl but never again will I date a person like that. I think i'd rather date a girl with a mild asshole-ish attitude over one that's too fear struck to say hello to my mom when she walks into the living room.

>>72613314

I thought it'd be cool because I'm an introvert as well (just not one that lacks social skills) turns out I don't enjoy living like a 60 year old couple, as a healthy 20 year old. I quickly realized I needed to keep relationships with women are on the same social plane as me.
