Anxiety

[Tempest]

I've been rather anxious lately, it's even making it hard to sleep. What's making me anxious is private but how do you deal with anxiety? What are the best ways to relax without just becoming careless? What do you do to keep your head straight?

anxious aye?How bout some hilarious anime watching?or fapping? jkbut don't really know, usually im just calm

 

[Tempest]

If it were that easy I wouldn't be asking for advice. I'm a smoker so I usually smoke quite a bit when I get anxious and that does help a little bit but right now I'm out of cigarettes and that's not the best way to deal with anxiety either.

 

[Franken Stein]

so are your hands or movements jittery and stuff?

 

[Tempest]

A little bit. But it's mostly my mind that's caving in. It sort of feels like a personal dooms day. I feel shutting myself out from everything and just watch the clock tick, wishing that this feeling would go away.

 

[Franken Stein]

ah i see, hmmwhat things have you tried so far?

 

[Tempest]

The best I've got right now are anti anxiety pills. I took one but I really don't like resorting to these because it makes my head all heavy and I get sleepy.

 

[Franken Stein]

well they calm ya down, till ya sleep, but looking for other methods, hmm i see what i can think of later

maybe go out for a stroll .....or play some sport ...that's the good old way to relax....or just see comedy anime or hentai and fab XD....or get a sand bag ...lol

Listening to a soft type of music tends to calm me down.

Normally I take a shower and go to sleep, that helps me calm down.

hmm i think you should talk to your cousin about it, the one you trust i know if i'm feeling bad it always helps to talk to my sister about stuffeven if they can't help, it still feels better to tell someone

talk with someone always works for me.... or maybe sing something aloud.... of course the mood of the song must be cheery...

I actually had an anxiety attack the other night (I think it was). It made it really hard to fall asleep. It wasn't cause by one thing, but a couple :\ I actually looked stuff up, because I was still kinda feeling it yesterday. I can't remember all the tips, but I do remember some ^^If you're the type to like working out, I read that it helps alot ^^ Try to keep your mind off of things ^^ Other things too like read a book, listen to soothing music (which, really did help me, but it was more of a morning talk show, but still was a good distraction) ^^ There was also something about putting a cold cloth on your forehead and on the back of your neck (never tired that one) ^^

this may sound ridiculous..... i get an anxiety because one of my friend say that she's dreamed that i'm dead..... a bloody death death that is....so i got anxious about when's the time..... but then again... when i die doesn't matter anymore... because i realize we all gonna die someday... so suddenly the anxiety gone....

what usually works for me is meditation, speaking to someone that brings you pleasure/doing things that bring you pleasure.honestly, do anything that will take your mind off of it or makes you happy.dwelling on things (and keeping them to yourself) obviously makes matters worse.
