Is there a way to cope qith it that people used?

>he thinks you deal w ith it

>he fell for the "fell for the dealing with your anxiety meme" meme

>>36660982
I guess no way to deal with it. Its end game aint it? To just stop the feelings entirely

Have you tried CBD?

original

>>36660684
Xanax, booze and exercise

>>36661040
I don't think you can ever stop it entirely, just make it easier to deal with. You just gotta force yourself to do shit that you're not comfortable with.

I got a lot better by going to college, but there are some things that are still really fucking hard to me, like introducing myself to someone, holding conversations with people I don't know or talking on the phone. I pretty much had to accept I will always be lonely, but I'm good enough that I can at least leave the house and survive. I know it doesn't sound like much, but it took me years to get to this point.

How old are you?

I had terrible anxiety around age 21 but it's not quite as bad now, years later. It's still there but it's not as severe.

>>36661091
No i haven't tried a ything. Most ive done is start drinking

>>36661109
>Be 18
Not old i know but shit fucked me up this past few months

Alcohol can increase anxiety for a lot of people, especially the morning after (they call this phenomenon "the fear").

I would suggest either abstaining from alcohol or drinking very, very little--and not as a treatment for your anxiety.

CBD would almost certainly work much better.

Xanax, scotch, have quality alone time.

I don't get anxiety anymore. I had it really bad when I was growing up, but now I'm a depressed, steaming pile of misery that has become apathetic.

I hear you, man. 18 is very young and your brain isn't anywhere near fully developed...it's going to change a ton over the course of the next 7ish years.

You will very likely experience life differently. I'm 28 and it's like I'm experiencing reality so different from how I experienced it at 18...it's like, man. It's hard to explain.

But don't assume you'll always feel this way.

Also I want to warn you to be extremely careful about the pharmaceutical industry. It's corrupt to the core and full of toxic shit that will fry your brain. Pharmaceutical drugs are barely regulated, poorly-understood with respect to their mechanisms of action, and the FDA is full of shit.

CBD is infinitely safer than pretty much any pharmaceutical anxiety treatment.

Good luck. But in some places you can just buy CBD over the counter, or buy hemp flowers that have a lot of CBD and virtually no THC.

>>36660684
I stay in my room all the time and never talk to people, duh.

>>36661220

You can get cbd on amazon

>>36661294
In what countries?

Anxiety is such a vague term, what do you guys mean by it?

I feel like it's like depression, it can describe a wide range of mental states, some more severe than others.

I have panic attacks, used to have them pretty frequently, where I would think I was gonna die of a heart attack or a brain tumor even though I was perfectly healthy, and I'd feel like I was going to pass out, be afraid, and start shaking all over and have trouble breathing. So that's what I think of when I think of anxiety. Which makes me kind of pissed off honestly when I see people using it to describe reactions in which normal people feel anxious. "I can't talk to girls because I have social anxiety!" Like shut the fuck up dude. My god, I know I'm getting too angry but I see this shit so much on here.

Cool.

What you're looking for, most likely, is some preparation that has a lot of CBD but little to no THC.

Your mileage may vary; you might even find benefits from THC if you try it, in small amounts, in certain contexts. But THC gets you high, and in some people, in some contexts, at a certain dose, it can cause anxiety attacks. You very well might be one of those people. So you might not want to try THC. It's up to you but if you're dealing with major anxiety to begin with, THC might not be up your alley.

That's why I stress to get something with a lot of CBD but little to no THC.

CBD doesn't get you high (maybe a tiny bit if you take an absolutely massive dose, but really not much) but it does chill you out.

By anxiety i mean like to the point of hyperventilating and shit. Pretty much what you mean. Constant panic attacks and shit

>>36661506
What if I almost never get panic attacks because I completely avoid interacting with people, who are the main source of my anxiety? At worst, in my daily life, my heart pounds and I feel that dropping feeling in my stomach.

I quit my job and got extra xanax. Gonna try to ask for daily supply and an increase in dose, or maybe ask about klonopin soon.

>>36661534
Thing is i dont want to stop being with people but that does cause some of my anxiety i feel.

>>36660684
I'm trying to figure out an effective way to sleep facing down while keeping my neck straight while not suffocating.
