Shotguns don't shoot bullets newfag

I like to imagine a super charismatic cool guy walking beside me. Whenever I do this, people seem to be nicer to me. It's the strangest thing.

Lavender oil, guided meditation, and yoga come to mind.

The Wim Hof method.

To begin you must relax (sit or lay down). Take a deep breath (fill your lungs to maximum capacity, try to fill your diaphragm as well as your lungs) then release, but not fully (let your chest drop, allow the air to leave). That's one repetition. Repeat this for thirty breaths. Release all the air in your lungs and then hold your breath when you have reached 30 repetitions. You will be able to hold your breath for a very long time (upwards of 2 minutes). Once you feel the gasp reflex kick in, fill your air up with lungs again and hold it for 10 seconds (push a little into your head for some more feel goods). That's one set. Try to do 3 sets.

You will feel lightheaded, warm and tingly after the first few repetitions (your vision may go dark at some point). Do this for 3 sets and you will be high as a fucking kite, I guarantee it. This is a tried and true method to release DMT into your brain. This technique basically hyper-saturates your blood with oxygen; increasing your pH (making you more alkaline, neurons/bodily processes fire/work better in an alkaline environment) and kick-starting your body's primitive brain.

Watch the video below to learn more. Do what they do in the video with them and you'll see. When I'm feeling down, I always know that if I just push myself to breathe, I will feel fantastic again.

I completely understand your skepticism, but you have to understand that he isn't trying to sell you anything that you don't have access to already. From what I can tell at this point, he's a genuine teacher; a man for the people. His name, Wim, means protector of the people.

The science is actually sound, too. Wim is a self-made monk who has legitimately reached out to the public and the scientific community to show them his secret abilities and training. They've been running tests and experiments on him and others for quite awhile now, the science checks out. He's actually hacked the human body and can show you how to do it in a month.

I'd say this is different because of how fucking easy it is to incorporate his method into your daily life. LITERALLY BREATHING. Anyone can do it, anytime, anywhere; it takes 10 goddamn minutes at a bare minimum.

Sadly, I know of no one like him. It seems like monks, magicians and tricksters are hell bent on keeping their methods secret, which I think is a shame. Were those methods released to the general public, there are many of us who could take them to the next level, further pushing humanity forward.

Then you have social anxiety, you are worried of what people thinks of you.

I assume you have something that makes you look unique and stand out.

>>18531967
real answer, saint john's wort. I personally use it

>>18536050
Correct, although i've accepted it in the past but the anxiety is still present. I've had this for 9 years so it's very ingrained in me that being outside is a reason to feel anxious. I've tried a lot to "rewire" that aspect of myself but wto no avail

oh and >>18536051

>>18536069
You are an empathic person, and that's not your anxiety, you accept and probably embrace what makes you unique.

That's the people's anxiety.

What you have to do it's accept the fact that people it's dumb, and you shouldn't respect their shitty opinions.

Some people swear by starting their day with a cold shower.

I'm too lazy to shower in the morning but I do have cold showers in the day and I could see it working.

Also, i've noticed cold showers are like a super anxiety attack but completely under your control, if I was to ever explain what severe anxiety is like to someone who hasn't experienced it, it is a cold shower.

stop being self centred all the time

>>18536081
Yes, I've tried this. How long until I remind myself to not care what people think, for it to actually work? for me it;s a lot harder than just telling yourself something. I'm not good at consciously deluding myself

>>18536093
You are not deluding yourself.

Not that anon, but you have to realize that other people have the same vulns/worries etc.

I have struggled with anxiety most of my life and have only recently began to not give a shit about what another thinks. I am a fair person but I also have the right to abscond petty expectations/judgement of character without apology. As does everybody else.

It could be because I live somewhere hot though.

>>18536030
I did. When I was like 7 I put a wounded bird in a snake nest. I also fought with frogs in a swamp with a friend. We were throwing frogs at each other. We killed like 15 frogs. I also jerked off a cat so I guess it cancels out the bird thing.

Instead of concentrating on how to cure your anxiety, perhaps you should be focusing on how to make yourself useful. Go do something productive, bring value to you and your life. You don't have time to worry if you're busy doing something important.

>>18533816

Thanks for this. I had already started trying this method a couple of days ago. I have a question, I read a description elsewhere with this wording:
>Imagine you’re blowing up a balloon. Inhale through the nose and exhale through the mouth in short but powerful bursts. The belly is pulled inward when you are breathing out and is pulled outward when you are breathing in. Keep a steady pace and use your midriff fully.
which gave me the impression I was supposed to go hard at it. So I was doing it standing up in order to use more force from my belly. Is this wrong? Is it really ok to just do it laying down?

My source is this, by the way:

It's okay to do it standing up, too. Like you, I've found it's easier to engage my core while I'm standing up, so I actually started doing it standing up or sitting upright mostly. As I've gained a little bit more experience I've learned how to engage my core while laying down and it definitely makes a difference. It's much easier to become relaxed and I'm able to experience the exercise much more intensely.

Wim stresses frequently that he learned how to do this through trial and error, by feeling; he listened to his body. There's always going to be a theoretically 'best' way to do things (coming from the scientific community), but you're the only one that can say if that will work for you.

I'd say that as long as you take it easy and you don't push yourself too hard early on, you should be fine. There are dangers involved, but as long as you use critical thinking skills, you will protect yourself. For instance, don't do this in shallow water (that should be obvious) and holding your breath with air in your lungs causes quite a bit of pressure to build in your head and lower abdomen which isn't good for your body over the long-term. Your eyes aren't gonna like it and your weaker, lower core muscles may eventually develop chinks in their armor, increasing risk of a hernia.

Don't let that stop you from trying, tho. There's always his 2 week course, too. My buddy just got a free pass and he's gonna try it out.

>>18537275
>supposed to go hard at it
Yes, you can go hard at it if you'd like, but I would caution you to learn more about what's happening in your body before you really start pushing the envelope.

>>18531967
Hi S.A.D. fellow,

I can share a bit of my experience, turns out I always had an anxiety disorder, they discovered it lately for I was thinking it was normal and that I was mistaking panic attack for casual stress , i lived 25+ more year thinking I was weird and everything was normal, anyway, I use to see the World as some Dark thing full of sorrow, and had a shitty life, I had to get medicated after a burn out, medication was shit, i had therapy, and it helped a bit , I solved most of my problems with that help, but not the Root of evil ... Anyway, I was on road to cure and I chose to try Shroom as they where used in psychology for a bit of time, plus obv shamanic lore blablabla, anyway, the last time I took them, there was 10g golden teacher, and believe me the lesson was hard and efficient, after the trip I took something like one week to recover, then everything was clear, I had a true understanding of my whole reality, so the thing was simple, I just had to get rid of the roots of my anxiety, basically a few person, a few habits and a few belief, today I know the world is not any lighter , I know I will die, I know I'm alone, but I know what I like to do, I know what I need to do, I know what are my needs, so I do sport, education works well, and my job too, no more money problem, no more toxic people putting too much pressure on me, no more troubles ... And I like life ... You want to overcome anxiety ? Get to know your enemy , understand why it exists, understand how it works, realise you are your own enemy, fight , life is a fight , fight for your right to enjoy life , you ll be cornered, beat to death, you will fear things, have panic attack, suffer, but you have to fight back and to get out of your shit.

Tldr;
Anxiety is killing you and destroying your life, get rid of it by fonding your own way

And yes it may be considered as paranormal to believe in yourself when everyrhing is fucked.

speaking as someone with an anxiety disorder, hypnosis always helped me.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUJak8rLOxM
this guy is trustworthy. eventually, you might be able to instill a trigger to reduce it a bit as well.
mindfulness meditation helps, also, esp if you are aware that most of what you're thinking isn't helping you. as you may have noticed, a lot of anxiety doesn't have a well-defined cause, and it just sort of happens for no reason other than your brain hating you. at that point, you gotta just let it pass on it's own.
http://www.mindful.org/meditation/mindfulness-getting-started/
really anything that gets your focus off of the things that are consistently causing you anxiety that is harming your quality of life. a few people mentioned lavender. scents help. strong tastes help.
i used to keep a tin of altoids by my bed bc it helped when i woke up with random fucking panic attacks.
also, whiskey. whiskey helps too.
whatever floats your boat, anon.

>>18540641

>>18540385
But it isn't the way to get rid of anxierty, just to numb it

Anxiety is a sort of fear that stems from the desire to avoid something, or to not be rid of something unpleasant. One has to understand this. However, analyzing the fear over and over again won't lead anyone anywhere. You'll just have fragmented knowledge.

One has to perceive that, for most things, it isn't possible to avoid or the rid oneself of unpleasantness. The only way out is through. Think of anxiety as a tunnel you have to pass. You can try to circle it and go around it, but in as much as you don't go through it and arrive the other side, it will linger.

The Taoists/Daoists have an analogy: to try burying a mountain. Protip: you can't. The more you try to bury the mountain the bigger it gets.

Anxiety, of any kind, has a source. You just have to notice it, and look at it, and observe it, and love it. Not judge it. Not try to change it. Observe it.

Read up on Jiddu Krishnamurti's 'Freedom from the Known' and/or 'Mind and Fear' if interested in further information.

Seriously, just work out. If you're too shy for a gym get some weights from walmart or something and lift at home. Takes no time at all and you WILL feel better afterwards.

when you say anxiety disorder you mean gad?
after a panic attack a year ago, i went through a stage of thinking i was going crazy, intrusive thoughts and all that shit. i've since got over that, however i've been left with depersonalization and i have still have anxiety (and this is really hard to describe), but its anxiety about anxiety, its usually in the evening when there is less distraction from work and shit. often times its just like oh im gonna feel anxious later and then like a self fulfilling prophecy i do. normally this just sounds like something that would be easy to get rid of, but ive had it for so long. im worried i have GAD or some shit or some other form of anxiety disorder, the say if youve had anxiety for more thna 6 months then youve got a disorder, but ive had anxiety for a year and half, but its super specific an dont generalised. i wanna see a therapist but i dunno, will diet, exercise and meditation. i also dont get a lot of sleep, like ill go to bed around 1am and get up at like 7;30

Valerian can really calm you the fuck down too, but in moderation, it only takes a little so don't use too much, and only when you need it, it shouldn't be a regular thing. Good for panic attacks and freakouts.
