How do you defeat anxiety and anxious feelings ?

how do you defeat anxiety and anxious feelings ?

Personally, not caring worked for me

I used to be anxious about everything, then suddenly I realised there was no point to being anxious. Depression works the same way

Meditate

Healthy diet avoiding highly processed.foods and drugs

i find when im laying at night and i feel the anxiety come i distract myself with youtube or porn

>not caring
Sounds healthy to me.
Yep.

You're a fucking retard, you can't just decide. It's a chemical imbalance in the brain. You never had depression or anxiety then you were just shy of some other stupid shit faggot

Well, you can't be anxious over what doesn't bother you.

I used to be obsessed over other people's perception of me in particular. At some point you learn not to care, and it's better

xanax

^this

I wanted to kill myself age 5-16, but I guess it works differently for everyone

Medication!

You sound upset
Baby please

Let me illustrate my point by not caring about this obvious bait

>It's a chemical imbalance in the brain.
The chemical imbalance hypothesis has never been proven.

thats a bad way to do it tbh. all you're doing is filing it back in your brain and letting it build. try taking a night to have a breakdown or to talk yourself through it. long-term it will be so much better for you

yeah beta blockers work great for anxiety, they calm you down and dont have any negative side effects

i used alcohol and drugs for many years. eventually they stop working and actually work in reverse. they actually make things worse after a while. lord have mercy.

With baby steps.

alcohol

With therapy and medication.

Or as most of the population say Have you tried not being anxious and think positive thoughts?"

>>It's a chemical imbalance in the brain.

literally everything you feel is a chemical imbalance in the brain.

mental illness is a hoax pyramid scheme to sell you drugs

I came here for the boobs, turns out this thread is full of fags

Give up alcohol, weed, other drugs.

Shit tons of cardio

Lift weights

learn a new skill

Fap no more than once every 2 days (porn must be given up entirely)

Eat plenty of fruit and veg

Practise breathing exercises

Citalopram (20mg - the usual lowest therapeutic dose) cured my anxiety within a few days. that was 5 years ago. It turned my life around.
I didn't have depression. Just crippling anxiety.

I
