Anxiety has been kicking my arse today. I hate myself had to phone work to say I can't come in. It's so debilitating. Anyone else suffer anxiety? I use alcohol to remedy my social anxiety but now it's making it worse. Help Sup Forums!

Feel so uncomfortable.

since you say you actually have a job, why not use your fancy insurance and see a doctor to get some good pills...also if you go around drunk all the time, you're bound to get a dui, public intoxication charge, or fired from work...
>also try some herbal supplements, even if a placebo effect, sometimes they can get you through a whole week of feeling pretty good about things

I'm a Britbong. Been to the doc's and had a therapist was on mirtazipine but came off them. Really don't want to be back on pills. I smoke weed to sleep that helps but my drinking is fucking my life a bit. Went to a play with this older woman I know we left half way through to fuck I feel so guilty as my mates were in the play and I've made a cunt of myself leaving half way. I keep doing really stupid shit and hangovers are giving me really bad attacks. But drink is my social lubricant it's how I deal with people.

when i drank regularly, I couldn't stop the world from falling out from under me or no gravity to hold me on the ground until I had around 6 beers...that is IF I could get them down without throwing up a bunch of times...cigs didn't help...but I did quit the drinking 100% and no more falling off the earth spells....if that's what you can consider anxiety...

How long you been dry?

5 years and 5 months

For those days where you are completely fucked by anxiety and those days only, 2-5mg of Diazapam under the tongue you'll feel better than ever in less than 5 minutes but feel pretty tired later one.

Well done. Really tempted to drink just to feel better and forget that idiocy of yesterday. Fucking hate myself. I'm an embarrassment

Would kill for a valium.

I also stopped talking to a woman that was not healthy in my life the same weekend. Dealt with her for 8 years and basically she wasn't easy to be around unless drunk, but I can't put my drinking issues on her...but it does help to avoid places and things that make you feel like you have to be fugged up to be around them sometimes

In the UK at least you need to go in with severe headaches caused by a tight neck and shoulders and that everything else you've tried doesn't work, they will then look at that Diazapam/value route. Apparently it's not a done thing for anxiety probably because too many people become dependent on it.

I can see why, it's quick and efficient. I wouldn't binge on them just take when needed.

I'm starving but I just can't face food. Haven't got out of bed yet. :(

it's pretty queer to say it but exercise and eating right can go a long way...most people who drink or do other types of drugs/meds don't eat right (or at all) so your body isn't getting all the good shit it's supposed to...and even when folks do eat right, their body may not be getting all they need, aka defiency (spelling)....I drink a few different flavored energy drinks now and then, it's almost like a mixed drink and all the vitamin B stuff kinda makes me feel better

Right fuck this I'm getting up will watch something light on TV and have some weed with some grub. I can get through this.

You guys need a long vacation at the mental hospital

Nah fuck that I'm anxious not insane.

This is extremely valuable advice, sleeping and eating like a normal are kind if necessary. Take vitamin supplement drinks daily, and if anyone also gets fucked up digestion from anxiety and takes omeprazole or similar you must take magnesium and calcium supplements. I spiralled into a low level depression with emotional numbness and all kinds of bad feels, started taking magnesium and bam back to normal, stopped taking them and bam bad times again.

Fuck off mate.

I've not heard of that before I'll give that a try.

I find walking around at night is calming if there's no one there, although I suffer a lot with paranoia and that there's people trying to find me, so unless it's one of those times it's good

Aside from that drinking, music, stroking my black pussy and watching films is good

Going to pet my cat after I get the dumb bitch off the roof.

Try to get some propranolol, this is sometimes prescribed for anxiety at lower dosages than for cardio-vascular diseases. It can be quite relaxing and won't be addictive as benzos

pro tip: buy a retard cat and you'll be fine (ours is 1 year old and has only just managed to learn how to jump onto sofas)

Make sure they don't start you on a placebo dose of propranolol like my cunting doctor did after I managed to get myself in to see him despite the constant panic attack, and him being entirely unconvinced I had an issue.

I stopped doing school work in 3rd grade and took to quietly sitting at my desk as to remain as unknown as possible until I was kicked out of High School for having the worst grades there. I would walk into school and black out sometimes, I would always sweat out of nervousness and could never begin to focus on the curriculum.

4 years later I am only a bit shy in most situations. Other times I'm slightly arrogant. I have gained confidence in myself through observing others.

Daww. This is mine.

that's one cute ass kitten

would pet/10

Same to yours :) cats just make everything better.

Adderall or Xanax always helps.

they are like the exact opposite drugs dude, addys for anxiety is not a good idea

the most important thing is distraction. youre anxious so you have to accept that anxiety is a part of who you are and it will never go away. but if you stay active, exercise, go out and cut out the weed (which is almost certainly making it worse) you can distract yourself and even feel better from the endorphins. good luck user and take care of yourself.

Xanax
/anxiety

Find out what motivates you or entertains you. Do that in everything. Realise that everyone has different priorities. I don't think I have your levels of anxiety but it's worked for me at all levels of importance.
