Can lifting help me with my general anxiety disorder?

>woman hormone
Shut the fuck up retard.

Shutup Margret...fucking cunt

She's probably nuts.

Stop masturbating. I can tell you masturbate chronically because of your OP photo.

Stop. Masturbating.

touching your own dick how much the degenerate are you. My boy Trump would nevah!

Guilty.
Actually just started a nofap, on my second day right now. We'll see how it goes.

>Probably

All SSRI drugs are not created equal. May have to experiment a bit.

You need therapy as well. CBT as well as probably exposure therapy. Combat sport is very high anxiety and may help you.

I was a lot higher anxiety before I worked in emergency and trauma for 2 years, as well as crisis mental health where I was being attacked by literal insane people. When you're exposed to true, overwhelming stress, the stress of day to day life barely even registers.

Get the fuck out of my thread you fucking chernobyl victim.

Excellent OP. The next step is to eat raw onions daily, as they will decrease estrogen in your body by up to 60% after a month's use.

Raw onions? Not sure if I'm being trolled or not. I'd probably take anxiety over puking my guts out every day for the rest of my life.

Why wouldnt you use aromasin if you are such a soyboi cuck then?

Well, I don't know her.

You're likely a newfag, but that's fine. Onions are an established method of decreasing estrogen on Veeky Forums, both cheap, and you don't end up giving money to big pharma jews.

Going to the gym gives me the feeling, that i am worth something. It also showed me, that i am doing everything for myself. I reached the point where anxiety turned to bitterness and disgust towards those i once feared, those that judged me.

How can't you relax op? I think i can relate to this sentence

Do not allow yourself to be hateful to past wrongdoings. If you incapable of preventing them from harming others, you must let go of the bitterness, as it will only harm you.

Buy chink raws then

P much this.

Lifting is good but it's still a solitary kinda thing and is rather safe in the sense that it is hard to fail at lifting.

Martial arts ensure you fail and get used to failing, which is what anxiety is about. You are afraid of failing or looking bad in front of others.

When you get your ass beat and then evantually kick other people's ass, you will be more confident.

You have anxiety because you are a victim. To not be one, you must have claws aka being able to defend yourself (even though you will never have to)

It's as if my baseline anxiety has been raised, which affect me both mentally and physically.
Physically it feels as if I can't sit still for very long without getting restless. I get hand sweat and feet sweat real easy. My heartrate also seems to jump up even in the most menial bullshit.
Mentally I have a hard time focusing and I also tend to catastrophize anything and everything. Even the most menial bullshit makes both of the aspects 10x worse.
It's almost as if my whole nervous system is on edge all of the time for no fucking rational reason whatsoever, or so I think anyway.

Seriously OP do this. No drug is going to fix you on the level that martial arts will. No meditating or anything like that is gonna come close. Please do it. It will change your life and you will be so much happier.
Basically pick anything you'd find in mma pedigrees
>Wrestling/any of its regional derivatives
>Judo
>muy Thai
>BJJ
>Boxing
>Tkd but probably in combo with one of the former if you want up really get something out of it
>Same with karate
Or, if you're -really- dead set on not doing a martial art, do a sport where you get injured easily and need to be reckless
>Skateboarding
>BMX
>freeclimbing
Regardless of whatever you pick just dig the fuck in and do it all the time.

T. Spent 8 years on heroin, then hydroxyzine/venlafaxine/oxcarbazepine and still ended up with unrealistic anxiety afterwards. Don't put bandaids on bullet holes FRIENDOOOOOOO

Visit this thread for information to counter excessive estrogen.

Got anxiety too OP. Do everything you've been doing, but also do nofap.

I decided to cut out grains because for whatever reason they trigger anxiety as well.

Also, switch to tea if you're drinking coffee.

...

I feel the same all the time sometimes i can't even relax when i'm browsing the internet but i still think there is something that contributes more to this than the easy answer: anxiety

Try taking NAC, serious. Saved my life.

Why do women like this exist and why cant I put my benis in them?? Its my strongest desire

Because you may or may not liff but you aren’t putting effort on your social skills.

I honestly wish there were some nudes from this bitch.

Maybe. I was on fucking Seroquel for a bit because my anxiety was so bad. I got off of it before I started lifting because fuck Seroquel. I still had some minor anxiety issues though. Now that I lift I'd say that overall my confidence has gone up. I talk to strangers occasionally now and don't really worry about anything when I'm trying to fall asleep anymore. I wouldn't say lifting cured me or anything but it's at least helped a fair bit in giving me the confidence to change how I act. The hard part for you will probably be going to the gym. Maybe try going with someone you know. Alternatively you could get a home gym but that would just be avoiding your issues. You gotta face them head on.

It helped me. I'm going to write a blog, so be warned.

I moved out of state to attend college after graduating, and suddenly developed horrible bowel issues. I'd literally shit my pants in class and have to leave, and I had no idea why. I didn't make any major changes to my diet that I was aware of, but every time I'd leave the house I would take a big fat dump in my pants. I'd shit myself in my sleep, my ass would leak throughout the day, and I would smell like shit all the time.

Eventually, I developed some severe anxiety that wouldn't even allow me to leave the house, because of this I failed out of college and moved back in with my Mom. I stopped leaving the house entirely because I had no reason to leave, and when I did leave I'd have severe anxiety attacks and shit myself again. It got to the point where I couldn't even get to the end of my street without having a panic attack. If I wasn't within 5 minutes of a bathroom, I'd collapse in panic. Every time I had to leave the house for family gatherings or similar things, the trip would take almost triple the amount of time it should because I'd have to stop every 10 minutes because I thought I was going to shit myself and sitting on a toilet was the only way I could "relax". It got to the point where my mom would just knock me out with medication to take me anywhere.

One day after being knocked out, I woke up at a doctor's office.

The doctor did some tests, but couldn't find anything wrong with my digestive system, so he referred us a psychiatrist. He put me on Lexapro 20mg, which made me even more anxious for a couple of weeks, but then I started to feel better. It helped a little bit, the anxiety was still awful and I still never ever wanted to leave the house, but he told me to do routine drives around the area just to expand the area that I could travel in without feeling anxious. I did this for about a year, but I still couldn't stay out for very long, certainly not long enough to get a job.

My psychiatrist recommended trying exercise and eating better, so I decided to give it a try. Bought a weight set with the last of my savings and my dad gave me his old treadmill he wasn't using anymore. After a year of dieting and exercising, I'm down 60lbs (5'11 250 to 190), and I'm actually free. I stopped having any anxiety problems at all around 8 months into the exercise and dieting. I'm not even taking the Lexapro anymore. I started weaning myself off of it at the beginning of this year. Diet and exercise literally saved my life.

Also, I found out the initial cause of my digestive issues was Chick-fil-A. Turns out I'm allergic.

it's literlal just a fucking ass pic dude 99% of girls (and 10% of guys, no homo) will look like that in that position and lighting. calm down.

Half a year ago I was afraid to go to the supermarket because someone might talk to me, look at me or think something of me.

Now I go for a coffee after a group lesson at the gym with other regulars and talk for about 30 mins.
You guys were not lying social interaction is like lifting; small steps make progress.
Sometimes when I get anxious thoughts I suppress them and they go away fast, because if those people might think I'm not nice, ugly, or something else, why would they invite me for a coffee and talk to me?

For some of you this may seem pathetic but for me this is progress.
From autistic antisocial loser going slowly back to normal.

As for OP; yes lifting helps a bit, but talking to others helps the most.

Thanks for sharing, user. I have issues with my digestive system too - not anything remotely as bad as what you had, but it's so frustrating to find that there's nothing physically wrong with me and it's all psychological. Makes me realise how little we understand the brain-gut relationship. Glad you got yourself sorted out.

ha ha ha you are such a fucking idiot.

>looks are the only thing that matter

This

what helped my anxiety was doing things that gave me anxiety

Almost all animu cosplay girls are fucking insane. Not only that, they'll probably cheat on you too

Maybe instead of trying magical meme solutions you need to get some instrospective time instead. There is no magic chemical imbalance that just appears out of thin air. There is a reason for your anxiety and you better listen to it.

So you're saying if I'm attractive I can go to an anime convention and have a good chance of bagging a cute cosplayer for a one night stand?

You need love, sex, fun friends and a hobbies you love, also traveling

If you dont have all these you will never be happy

How much per day? One?

I know people who used to black out during panic attacks and hit everyone around them. Recovery is possible, op, even if it can feel hopeless at times.

You might want to look into avenues of care that aren't necessarily drugs - are you seeing a psychologist? Drugs are useful but they can't help with trauma or dealing with negative self-image.

Most people would try out Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, but it might be worth shopping around finding someone who will click with you. The psychologist that ended up helping me out came from a social work background, and used a mostly psychoanalytical approach.

Mostly just posting to say that recovery is possible, no matter how dire things can feel in the moment.

l o n d o n?

Yeah probably

Nice. Now I just have to work on being attractive.

Shit.

Marry me, and cuck my shit up while calling me a faggot little sissy boy! I'd be so set if i had a gf, a gf that humiliates me and berates me and makes me suck cocks.

Essential

I used to have bad anxiety and now that I'm 27 it just went away over time because I realized nobody gives a single fuck what you're doing

Just smoke some weed bitch (:

Aren't they?

Lifting can help immensely. I was in the same boat as you essentially, and I started lifting to replace the myriad medications I was taking and it worked like a charm. I'm still somewhat anxious but it's miles better than it used to be. Start exercising and lifting regularly. You'll feel much better.

>Now I just have to work on being attractive.
