May 16, 2018 @Odyssey got the post you replied don’t see it now. If it leads to that point where it gets too bad if you have discipline with good medication once my adrenaline gets pumped with enough anger I can snap or break stuff and nothing can really stop me at that point. Recently, once in a while when I feel myself start to get in that state of mind and start getting racing thoughts resulting in anger or bad anxiety/panic ridden, I’ll take a Valium and it’s enough to stop me from doing anything stupid. I can say it has been a major improvement for me. Most weed makes my anxiety worse which is why I never recommend it to people for anxiety but the combonation of a benzo and a indica strain can be relaxing. You know yourself and before you let yourself get to the point of a breakdown or something like that don’t be worried about bringing it up to your doctor soon before a bad episode were to occur; at least you would have some medication that could help you before snapping or whatever. It took me years to admit to a doctor about some problems I get when my anxiety/panic mixed with anger gets out of control. One night waking up in a severe panic state with a ton of weight and pressure in my chest trying to breathe heavy to catch my breath and i ran straight to the dooor outside and it was like 5 degrees outside at the time. Just felt like I was “trapped” Trying to fall back asleep trying to breathe normally was an awful experience. After that episode with the symptoms turning physical, Ik I had to mention something to my doc about it because it was awful to go through and never want that to happen to that extent again. It was really hard for me to admit my problem to my doctor but am glad that I did now.
May 16, 2018 I just watch the movie interstellar. Puts mankind and the whole universe into perspective. Plus a GOAT soundtrack
May 17, 2018 A simple, mindless, repetitive task. Exercise, play a game, compose an autistic spreadsheet analyzing boxing rankings, tidy up my living space, stuff like that. Nothing that takes abstract thought. I usually circle back to whatever was getting me down later with a slightly different disposition or perspective.
May 17, 2018 prepare a bubble bath, a glass of red wine, some dark chocolate and watch some lifetime movie network
May 17, 2018 I remember that a lot of people got it a lot worse Actually, I smoke and drink until I'm heavily f----- up and then I go to sleep. It helps, but the sad part is it doesn't make it go away.
May 18, 2018 The only thing that ever worked for me was hanging out with people, if i couldn't do that then I will start/work on a project of some sort. Doesnt matter if i do not finish it, just cant let my thoughts wander and if i preoccupy myself for long enough then the bad s--- kinda fades away. Medications never really worked but they can help give you a boost to make moves to put yourself in a better positions, but once youre in that good position its best to leave the meds behind and go normally. Forcing yourself to be productive or exercise is cliche advice but it does work. The motivation will not come, you must force yourself and eventually the habit will come.
May 18, 2018 Eat cookie dough (preferably homemade) and binge Xena. Also listen to plenty of Frankie Lymon.
May 20, 2018 Another thing that helps is sharing it. In any way, shape or form. Even if it's on an internet forum. There are times where I have absolutely no one to talk to, like right now and I plunge into these heavy depression hours and it gets real hard to just exist. I think that's why so many people make cringy facebook posts that no one understands the meaning of. Simply writing it out and reading it back to yourself, helps. Because it organizes the mess that goes on in our heads in some way and you feel relief when you know that you just laid it all out there.
May 20, 2018 This. It can get annoying when you see people doing this on social media. But I've always understood why they do it.
Dec 24, 2018 Fried plantain pls To answer OP (I know this thread was over half a year ago but I felt compelled to respond), usually when I feel down I tend to go insular and just shut myself off for a bit and just listen to music or read stuff about music or sports. Just something to pass the time. Playing sports (whenever it's in-season for me) is another thing I do to get myself out of a rut and it works more often than not. Guess my point being is that you need to re-calibrate somehow and focusing your energies on rudimentary tasks usually gives us a chance to do that. Also I'd just like to parrot what the rest of the posters in this thread have said. Some sound advice was provided for sure.
Dec 24, 2018 man oj bringing out these super cool threads back to life i have a realllyy bad habit of eating sweet and salty stuff to make me feel better
