Anxiety is fun.
| I feel your pain, g/u/rl, that really sucks. If you can't discuss all the worrying stuff that causes you so much discomfort with your mother, maybe you should try talking to your friends? Or, you know, you always have this board, you can share all the troubling things here, with us. It may be helpful sometimes.
Anyways, I hope you'll get better soon.
| And there's nothing wrong with talking about stuff that troubles you on the Internet if you don't have anyone else to do this with, please don't call yourself a retard because of that.
| *hugs OP*
There, there~~
| >>599791 Yo. How're you faring?
Are you frustrated that you're not able to notice what you're feeling?
Despite not being able to stop thinking about inane things instead of just doing what you have to do?
Do you hate yourself for not finding a solution?
Take a walk.
Go eat out.
Read a book.
Pressed for time? Fuck you. You can't do shit anyways. Clear your head. You're going to need presence of mind.
As for outside help, don't bother if you can't bring yourself to.
Get the fuck out.
| >>599791 I still recommend you do something else, but if you're still here, do give more details on why you feel the way you do so the gurls here can give better replies than stock 'hope u get better :(' answers, or have people assume the situation you're in like I did.
I say again, do something else, especially if you're sitting there racking your brain on where to start.
| Bro, talking about it online is the fucking best. I'd probably be dead by now if it wasn't for people here and on Discord giving me advice and supporting me. While I have told my family about my problems, I still feel like the best help comes from therapy and anons.
If you give a better description of your situation it'll be a lot easier to help you out. You won't be getting rid of anxiety any time soon, but talking about it and using the advice you get will definitely improve it.
| >>599819 very little friends here, most are in the UK but we usually just banter, talk about our lives sometimes since a friend has a shitty mother. maybe letting it all out at some point is ok, i'm pretty much big brother tier concerned.
>>599957 sometimes its entirely random, like it could come out of nowhere and flip everything on its head. medicine i was supposed to have for a few months ran out, where the doses were meant to cut down slowly so withdrawal wouldn't be a thing
| >>599828 this town i live in just gets so quiet a lot
while i appreciate it, sometimes it drives me nuts.
as mentioned before i got some prescriptions, cant really just stop with them suddenly.
theres that proportion or whatever about intelligence and happiness ratios and i'm kinda sure i'm just too ascended at this point to revert to a point where it was all fine
sometimes we travel to cities for a day out, nothing super special.
| >>599826 often read books, go outside for 1hr, listen to music and chill.
thing is none of the books are fiction or when they are it's either Orwell's 1984 or Fahrenheit 451, the latest ones I have depict the true state of North Korea.
| thing is, i have pretty bad social anxiety as well, never really been able to talk to a lot of people.
it seems more like a desperate reach or to far a leap for me to build bridges, form friendships and the like.
| also i'm going through cognitive behavioral therapy because of some childhood trauma.
it's really great to know talking about it and how to solve it pretty much makes me anxious as fuck, so this treatment is gonna be tough since I hadn't challenged it for 16 years.
i kinda wanna snap out of it now I'm 19 but i'm in such a self isolated state sometimes it's like climbing a vertical wall.

>>600018 And there`s your main problem. Why couldn`t you refill your pills?
Understandable you want to keep an image with the people who know you. Though do you think they`d treat you differently were you to confide?
>>600019 Yeah, I feel that. I recently emigrated to Canada, and the environment change really helped boosted me to get myself together. Granted, I had people help me along the way. Anyways, my advice is still the same: do something that isn`t monotonous.
| >>600026 the doctor I usually see was on holiday so it was basically a huge fucking circlejerk to try to get this prescription again, last 3 months I was on Sertraline Hexal but for the next 3 I have Sertraline Ranbaxy because it'd be worse the more I have to wait
not really, no, theres a few friends i just release a controlled amount of pressure just to lighten my mind, maybe share experiences, i don't really want to drag everyone i know to help and beyond.
| and yeah, I try to do different things, however in few cases i can't because no driving license or have to study a lot
i tried some archery today, i hit the gym at least once a week or twice a week if i miss one week, bowling is one of my most favourite pastimes.
sometimes on a shitty day i just do aim training in cs:go and R6S, profiting, wallbangs and some other things.
| profiting? meant practising.
| Because it really feels like that`s what irritates you. Surely there`s something there that you can do that`s different?
>>600020 The fuck kinda libraries you have?
>>600023 There`s nothing wrong with keeping to yourself. Don`t stress yourself out. Butif you really want to fix that, start little by little, and don`t give yourself an exit. Because if you do, then you`d just go back home and cry to yourself that you can`t do it. At least that`s my experience.
| Well, we`re both online at the same time. That`s nice.
>>600030 Ah right, sucks to be studious type. Personally, I prefer swimming, but hey. Would love to try archery, though not sure if my arms could handle it since apparently it actually does require strength.
Are we talking games now? Play Katana Zero. Do it. It`s an experience.
>>600025 P.S: what`s cognitive behavioral therapy?
And again, stop stressing out. I`m 21 myself and I still have to get psychosocial help.
| >>600032 Some science fiction, Orwell's 1984 and Animal Farm, the biography about Yeonmi Park escaping from North Korea, Fahrenheit 451, to name a few.
| >>600035 archery is a little about strength but also technique, the second I've got to refine since I don't really have a sight to rely on, it's more like shooting blindly and hoping for a hit when you begin.
cognitive behavioral therapy or cbt is just a way to try to overcome a fear like immunizations or injections, it's like a ladder system where the exposure is eventually increased for the thing you despise the most.
| forgot about a detail, the bows they had were different strengths, so I could borrow one which suited me the best, trying to release the string is almost awkward as we have this small leather piece protecting our fingers holding the drawstring.
| >>600036 You have a shit library. Or is that all that`s available in the fictions section? Because that`s marginally less shit, but still shit.
>>600038 Ah, interesting. Like how bowling balls have various weights, or how there are different types of golfing clubs. It sounds stupid though with the finger guard, since when the string snaps it`s more likely to hit your face than anything.
| >>600037 So you`ve been getting CBT (cock and balls torture). Tbh, that sounds like it`d only worsen your trauma.
Anyways, for now there`s not much you can do. I`ll be waiting to see how you are soon. Hopefully you`ll get your medication and be on your way.
| >>600040 I'm trying to expand a little more, it's just about trying to find a book that catches my attention. hell, i'd even read about the Oswald Moseley and the Blackshirts too, history does also interest me to some degree, some of it can be a part of my English work since i did flesh out 1984 and Fahrenheit 451 to gain a deeper understanding about these different timelines.
so far (thankfully) i've not been victim to drawstring accidents.
| already have the meds tho, so that's sorted already

| For a few days I've just been stressed out of my mind, thing is, I'm too good at bottling up feelings until I truly explode.
Sometimes I would get small "ticks" like my arms suddenly tensing up for a split-second.
I have a few ways of managing this that isn't screaming like I'm in pure agony.
I don't really talk to my mother about it, despite her being the only family close by and my father being in Britain.
yet here i am talking about this on the internet, nice logic retard
