Anxiety

cbt, you essentially have to train your monkey brain to stop it

Stop consuming nicotine
Stop consuming coffee
Stop mastrubating
Meditate

I wish i could follow my own advice for longer than a month, but these do help tremendeously

It would be extremely painful

Get out of your comfort zone little by little, then just get used to being there. Just like a muscle you have to train yourself. Once you start expanding your comfort zone, all the small shit you used to worry about will seem meaningless.

Don't live in the past or the future.

Live in the present.

Trust that you will navigate any situation you encounter.

I've mostly cured it. Make a conscious effort to look at normies when you're in public. You'll notice they're all sheep. You'll notice they're just the NPCs in your story, and if you lift, you'll notice you're better than 90% of them.

So speak loud, and stop worrying about them. Just leave them alone to scuttle about. And keep making it.

Ok ((((doctor))))), Should I take it with a big glass of estrogen and fluoride water? Oi vey

Anxiety isn’t something you cure yourself of. You can take SSRIs that work for many people but in addition to turning your anxiety way down they also turn down your ability to experience joy, to laugh till your sides hurt, etc. For me, the pills aren’t worth the side effects. The secret is to accept your fear and act as if it isn’t there, even though every fiber of your body is telling you to retreat to your comfort zone or to your favorite escape.

This is how you recover.

Realize that you are feeling an emotion and that it is not something at the core of your being, anxiety is transient like the waves crashing upon the shore. Next step is accepting that you feel something that could be described as anxiety in the present moment, don't try to wage a war against it because in 99% of times it is an illusion being played in your head over and over again because you are overly attached to your emotions, and fear is a very powerful emotion. So the solution is to gradually detach yourself from your "bad" emotions by taking a step back and observing your emotions in the present moment. TL;DR: Look up mindfulness meditation. Meditating is not hard, you sit on your ass for 30mins and basically feel, without judging your feelings and instead observing them. Meditation will ALSO lessen your cortisol, improve your sleep quality and probably also boost your testosterone by making you less worried and reactive. Also I want to add that you can never get 100% rid of anxiety because it is part of being human and alive but you can reduce it massively so that it is no longer a detriment in your life. Mindfulness. Dont be afraid.

Which genre of books would you recommend?

the greatest propagandists are the ones who don't know they are propagandisrs

anxiety is adrenals. adrenals feed off magnesium. water moves magnesium around. therefore, clean water and magnesium.
t. controlled panic disorder

I cured myself of social anxiety in 6 month of backpacking in New Zealand. Contributing factors:
-Constant social contact (living in hostels, 6 man dorms usually )
-Constantly changing environments
-Outdoor sports
-Outdoor work
-Nofap
-Frequently talking to cuties (they have time for you, actually)
-Red meat rich diet

This has helped me, although it has taken an immense effort and time.

why is he flexing every fiber of his body if he's supposed to be resting

I used to have terrible anxiety. Medication did more harm than good. What worked was exposure. I got a job where i had to deal with people in person and on the phone. Eventually you become desensitized. Also, with age you start to care less as you gain more perspective. By the time you're in your early thirties you should be good.

Desensitize through exposure so you're able to function normally with anxiety.

So I don't know how helpful these other responses have been but Here's my technique:

Any time I start noticing the signs of anxiety (can be different for everyone, mine is sweaty feet and a tight stomach)
I grab a stress ball and squeeze it closed witha ll my strength and HOLD.
then you slowly release your grip letting the ball expand, but do it veeeery slow and let the rest of your body relax along with it let your shoulders drop and pay attention to your breathing.

It worked very well for me when I was stressed out doing work and applying for school at the same time, good luck!

weed

Damn, this pic is so cool, I wish I could draw like this, I don't even know where to begin, anatomy, color theory, just making fucking straight lines. Paralyzing amount of work is needed.

What do I do Bros? I thought getting big would make my anxiety go away but honestly I feel more fucked up now than I did when I was a skinny bitch.

What if you stop though?

Go boxing OP, it won't cure it 100% but after getting punched a few times in the face you'll see that most things won't worry u as much.

I was in rehab with a guy who got into a habit of treating his anxiety with weed. He was more hopelessly damaged than the meth junkies put together.

This is the most overrated and over pushed solution to anxiety you'll hear from normies and its unbearable, do not smoke weed thinking it will be a cure to anything close to legitimate anxiety...

What worked for me, hopefully helps you:
Stop skipping meals, low blood sugar increases anxiety
Socialize daily
Spend time in nature and be physically active
Reduce caffeine and nicotine intake

And be patient, it takes time for your brain to adjust to new activities and environment.

Yes&no.
>First cut out any drugs it’s retarded to continue using them if you already have anxiety or they give you anxiety. Weed and caffeine mainly.
>nofap
I’ll be the first to point out there isn’t anything magical about this shit, but when you overindulge in dopamine rushes (same shit with the weed and caffeine), your brain gets all “fried” for lack of better word and stats chronically low on dopamine which makes you anxious. Before you shit on it or question it, just give it a shot. Shoot for either 3 months or once a week and try to avoid porn/more ducked up weird porn. You have nothing to lose and only things to gain.
>exposure
Pretty straight forward. For me, after my anxiety hit an all time high and I could barely leave the house, I had to start with grocery shopping just to get used to being around people. Then on to making eye contact with other customers in passing until I got used to that, then to asking employees where shit was, and so on. Got the point I got back in school, took an emt course and then the ride alongs and seeing people seriously fucked up was even more exposure. Do the shit you fear.
>fight
If you have good friends who you can kill some beers with, ask them to have a friendly fight. No face/nut shots, only hits to the body. This showed me I’m not made of glass and that if anything other (normal) people should be anxious around me.
>stop giving a fuck
Just happens eventually, after you’ve dont the above things and especially the next point below
>get your shit together.
One reason I was anxious was because I went from fat fuck to super fucking fit and confident m/outgoing could get pussy with almost no effort, but then after a breakup I got fat as hell again and lost the gains. It was good I was anxious because it was like a constant reminder I was doing shit wrong. For me it was 1.) my body/health and 2.) where I was headed (was wasting time in college getting a degree for something I didn’t plan on doing)

Whoa ur smart

Where did you go? How expensive was it?

That's the power of low bf% fantasy art physique.

I have diagnosed panic disorder and GAD. I had terrible 2 hour tension headaches yesterday, it went all the way from my neck to my temples and it hurt so freaking much. Stretching can only help to a certain degree

Personally i went to a therapist, psychiatrist took meds etc. Therapist is prettt great, cognative behaviour therapy can help. Two things that can help a lot are physical exercise and exposure therapy, going to places that give you panic attacks and anxiety and doing that.

It sucks, it wont go away in 1 day, it will get even worse but hang in there

Supposed to not care about my broskies?

Simple my bromazepan

The two biggest hurdles you face are multitasking and changing or starting tasks. Anxiety is far more manageable of you can structure things to minimize those.

For multitasking, you have to arrange time blocks without distractions. No excuses. Turn off your phone and just do one thing. When you start to think of something else, redirect that thought by focusing on who will be pleased by finishing your current task. That person could be yourself, the professor or boss who assigned the work, or your favorite InataThot, doesn't matter. Press your feet into the ground, breathe, and refocus on the task.

Avoid unecessarily changing tasks. You have to climb the hurdle of starting new tasks and that's not worth doing twice for the same task. What you want to do is force yourself to do the first step, and only the first step. Might be tough to complete a job application, but it's less tough to go to the website. Once you're moving, force yourself to keep moving without distractions, as above. It makes that hurdle between you and a new task pass much more easily.

Drawing is a skill, not a talent. Mostly.

you cant. You have to compete with it.

Based but lol you’re gay

I'm just parroting smart people, fren. Always double check information, even (especially) from licensed practitioners.

have multiple high dose psychedelic drug sessions and face whatever causes the problem. unless you're predisposed to psychosis lmao

You prob wont get it, but Anxiety saves you.

Whenever I feel anxious about something like public speaking I just imagine that those butterfly feelings give me power. And I have this image in my head that I’m some type of Mike Tyson about to knock somebody’s head off. Might sound gay but it works so who cares

Based overcomer

Yes i got over it the moment i started my job as a factory worker and i was put into the most loud ass anoying shift group and then we all became reall close and anoying together over the years and now i dont give a shit anymore. Learn to make a fool of yourself and others.

How do I get over the fear judgement or rather of not being good enough?

this
keep yourself busy ALL THE TIME, stare at a wall and count if you have to but just keep your mind on something

decreased sex drive.

why are you cunts so annoying? The only people I've met in hostels who aren't insufferable seem to be the old midlife crisis guys

i haven't noticed
my girlfriend and i have the sex drive of a horny 15 year old though

By trying to be.

There is no shame in an honest effort.

Sunbathing semi naked on a sidewalk every day on peak hour is the cure
