Anxiety

Do you suffer from it?

Yes, it fucking sucks and prevents me from talking to people. It also makes me seem suspicious in front of cops cause of fear of authority. What sucks even more is that I've had this shit my whole life and I have no clue how people are "supposed" to feel

social anxiety but I'm getting better

no it doesn't prevent you but it is annoying.

I thought I was suffering from anxiety back then but I wasn't suffering from anxiety, then I unfortunately experienced temporary anxiety caused by a psychosis, that made me realize what real anxiety is like and I'm glad I don't have to deal with this shit every single day of my life. Or it was some sort of paranoid delusion, idk, quite fucking nightmarish nonetheless. I'm glad It's over.

I've had social anxiety my whole life. I've developed avoidant personality disorder as an adult.

Have aspergers and anxiety in general. It's fucking terrible.

yeah, i'm pretty sure i have some kind. either that or i'm just a huge puss.
almost failed a couple classes in high school because of it, and now i almost never leave my house. gonna have to deal with it though because my parents are expecting me to either get a job or go to college lol.

>parents are expecting me to either get a job or go to college
Do not pick college. First get a job. If you can handle that, then consider going to college.

Yes, I feel anxiety around 90% of strangers, about 70% of people I know. I am ready to kill myself because it's such a fundamental flaw. Humanity is all about society. If your problem is not only fitting in due to your beliefs, but actually dealing with people themselves (regardless of how they are) - you are so far behind and isolated it is just completely fucking over, period.

I was just coming here to post about it. It's better now that I'm on meds but there are still some days where it just doesn't go away. I fucking hate sitting here in bed trying to sleep, then suddenly out of nowhere adrenaline hits me and I feel like I'm going to fucking die any moment

It really gets in the way of sleep most days but I don't take my sleep meds because I'm stupid

i literally sweat gallons of sweat at room temperatre and everyone looks at me like im literally retarded or have some kind of terminal disease. Ive completley given up making any kind of friends. The worst part is how people can smell the lonliness on you. I hate my life so much.

How to deal with severe anxiety?
>tfw can't decide on anything because locking in choices means you can never go back and might fall into suffering forever living a life of regret
>tfw you kind of are already doing this at the same time so you're a hypocrite and all that bad stuff
>tfw can't do anything with confidence because you know that since you're often wrong, you're probably wrong here and others are wiser so you listen to them
>tfw overthink everything because you understand the dunning-krueger syndrome and that anyone can fall for it except it's supposed to be for beginners but people misuse so it might as well be every one and people will jab at you if you didn't think of everything beforehand even though it's impossible and you were already trying to do that
>tfw just in an endless loop and cycle of suffering while trying to prevent further suffering but freaked out by everything all at the same time

Here since OP is mentally, spiritually, and physically a faggot

>just at a constant level 7
I don't even understand 8, it's like the same as 4.

Hitting the level 9 is scary. It's been a while since it's happened but completely shutting down feels very bad.

Which level are you guys most of the time?
Which is the highest you've ever been in?

The irony is I wake up at 0, but it all quickly escalates when your brain starts to remember.

Same, 0-2 in the morning, 6-7 at night.

Been between level 5 and 7 since 2014. It's getting to me. Hit level 8 once, 9 sounds like total hell though I have micro shutdowns at times.

I only had one moment where I was at 9. Awhile back we had an aol browser on the family computer and one day it just stopped working, I could only use the internet through explorer. But the history on the aol bar could still open up and it was filled top to bottom with porn I looked up. And for a few months I was dreading the day until someone would make a huge deal out of it, but it never happened.

mostly 5-6 sometimes I feel like ending it so 9 lmao

Whenever Im left alone with just one other person my anxiety shoots up to like 7-8. I feel like I have to do something and my mind just implodes and I just want to cry.

To do what? Intertain him?

>that physical feeling of #9
must be the feeling early humans had when they got separated from their tribe. i thank god ive only had to feel that once even though ive dealt with anxiety my whole life. looking back things have turned out better than i could have ever hoped and im glad i didn't pull the trigger that day. if youre going through that i hope maybe this can help you friend

Wouldn't it be quite surprising if everyone here hasn't been at level 9?

Yeah I feel that I'm obligated to be doing something to make them have fun or else they will leave me. I'm fine with 3-4 people because I don't have to always be carrying the conversation and can instead jump in when I want. Even with my closest friends and family members I just want to hide in a corner when its just me and them. Im just scared that Im not doing something that Im supposed to and Im going to be left alone. Im so scared to do the right thing that I just dont do anything.

>Get GP to prescribe me beta-blockers
>They work but they give me stomach pains at the lowest dosage and diarrhea at the highest

Antidepressants and neuroleptics are awful so I guess I'll have to stick with benzos.

my worst panic attack was infinitely worse then seeing my mom dead, getting beaten and all the bullying in my life combined.

anxiety will fuck your shit up real good.

Yup. I have generalized anxiety disorder, was given xanax years ago but never used it. also never got therapy. it's a pain in the ass. I can't drive normally, I usually don't go to parties or gatherings (friends or family), I have trouble holding down a job, etc.

wtf I go to 9 everyday, feel like I get shot in the chest and rock because it makes me cold and it helps with shakes. at least I get moments of respite.

most of the time i'm around at 5-6
worst cases it's a straight 9 and i lose touch with reality and self

>regularly hit level 9 when multiple problems happen at once or if someone I don't know just starts talking to me out of nowhere
>hyperventilate until my mind goes blank and forgets everything
>problem solved
except the one time that happened while driving
