As long as you arent anxious all the time, like ratio wise, i think its okay. If people werent anxious they would be bums lets be real
It’s debilitating. I be speaking with someone and can barely focus and get my points across clearly cause I’m thinking Shiid is this person judging me in their head and just losing my s*** lmao
im on medication for GAD but if theres one thing that could help everyone in the world it would be regular meditation 1000000%
yes. crippling
I should try to get meds or something but idk how to approach that
As you get older you begin to lose it, you’re figuring out your personality
Give it some time, I’m assume you’re in your early 20’s
S*** f***ed me up for a while
i be messing with my hands and fingers a lot when i got s*** on my mind and i’m pretty sure it’s an anxious tick
Absolutely!!! Took therapy & Lexapro to get it under control, but I still experience it forsure. Hang in there OP

Yeah same I have a bad habit of pulling hairs out of my beard when I get anxious, worst thing ever
Like I over worry about everything and once it happens I don’t even remember it being that big of a deal you know ?
I wish I could just go into situations nonchalant instead of being overly anxious and then later realizing it wasn’t that big of a deal you know ?
Yeah I get what you’re saying
At least you have the awareness afterwards that things didn’t turn out as badly as you expected. I don’t reflect back enough to things that didn’t actually manifest badly. I’m just in a constant anxious state about the future.
I’ve had horrible anxiety since the start of 2021
I can’t get it out of me
What triggered it?
It honestly could be anything. Work, date, something with family
And then it’s really not even a big deal. Just over stressing about nothing
What’s worse is I try to combat my anxiety issues with alcohol and I’m basically an alcoholic now. I’m so consumed and get anxious about how people view me to a point I have to be wasted to not even care
This is literally the reason I stay away from alcohol and d**** all together, I know I can become addicted to it as a coping mechanism if I try them
Yeah f*** it it sucks but so does life. It could always be worse I mean I could’ve had schizophrenia or PTSD. At least I have a condition that doesn’t make me violent or delusional.
That’s a good point. Lots of overachievers suffer from anxiety too
Developed social anxiety around middle school.
Got better over time but never really goes away.
I’m looking into getting enrolled into an improv or acting class. I’ve heard that can really help with getting past social anxiety. Would recommend it to you as well.
Whole family does but mines the worst
Stopped seeing my psychiatrist and stopped taking meds cuz nothing helps. Im just dealing with it now.
Yeah same I have a bad habit of pulling hairs out of my beard when I get anxious, worst thing ever
this the one smh
Most my anxiety kicks in based off my diet/sleep/caffeine habits
But for you its prob the alcohol inducing your anxiety.
Just focus on tapering down & off the alcohol.
I started reading books. Any kind really - I find it helps me to not go on my phone or think anxiously when I get in my head too much
It’s really all in forgiving yourself for your past issues while knowing you’re doing your best even if it’s not perfect
Good luck brozay ✊🏾🙏🏾
Do you read fiction or nonfiction? I need to do this more i just go on my phone rn which doesn’t give any sort of relief
Yeah social anxiety. Got so many bad b****es on tinder but haven’t done nothing
