I was honest with my feelings and people stopped talking to me and I felt worse. Time to go back to being quiet.

It's so good when you realise that it's either 10 minutes of heavy crying or years of trying to hold it all in.

Being honest, self aware, and finding healthy coping mechanisms. Like, going to school, or crocheting. Also, seeing a therapist.

The by far best thing you can do against anxiety (had a generalized panic disorder myself) is get your shit together. Like, pragmatic stuff
FireUpTheCloudCarLando
Been working for me. Therapy, journaling, all good stuff. But doing household chores and going for a jog every other day? *chef's kiss*
TheresnoDanaonlyZuul
Also quitting booze, coffee and sugar in your diet helps a TON
zoeytg
Had something similar for several years. Took a lot of work to dig out causes. Had a lot to do with my inability just to self regulate.
zoeytg
Got perspective about how powerful acceptance over things I have no control of gave me the ability to focus on things I did have control.
noyougofuckyourself
So real. When i can get my kitchen clean and laundry done I know I'm winning.
Kawaiifive0101
Something they taught me when I started getting treated for severe anxiety is that it doesn't go away. You have to practice...
Kawaiifive0101
facing those thoughts directly and dismantle them like in this image. So you go "Ok, this is freaking me out? Why? How do I do it anyway?"
Kawaiifive0101
And it takes practice, but honestly, that was the best advice I've ever gotten You can't wait not to be anxious, you DESTROY ANXIETY lol.
Zetor
That's where the depression comes in.

If you truly can’t even do dishes or vacuum, then you need meds until you’ve stabilized, but that is very very rare

You're absolutely right but sometimes getting your shit together also means understanding your limitations rather than living in some 1/

Agreed, that’s why I’m saying start with the smallest thing you can find, and if that’s limited to taking out the trash right now so be it

That’s life bro. But if you do those things, EVERYTHING gets better. Like, I can’t believe how much better my life is today than 5 years ago
KarrotSeal
You mean like cleaning, doing paperwork and such? Or something deeper?
IUseThisToFavoriteAssnTitties
It means both. Dealing with your day to day items is where you start, but you have to expand to big stuff like career and relationships too
Antrazit
The great thing about trivial tasks is that they are so doable, even if you feel like shit. Deeper changes come with time and more strength,

But if all you can do right now is do the dishes, then that’s a million times better than doing nothing at all. Then maybe you can do dishes

GuitarCzar
Actually dealing with your problems is absolutely a kindness to yourself, and can snowball. You're spot on
GuitarCzar
It helps to really try and cultivate your empathy too, i think. Feeling connected to others is a great antidote to anxiety
Antrazit
It helps thinking about yourself as someone you are responsible for taking care of. 10/10 times you’d have a million good things in mind
GoodBadGibus
Nah, there's other ways. IME need serotonin to keep habits that make serotonin. Once I started SSRIs I was able to develop healthy habits.
GuitarCzar
Yeah dude, there isn't really a universal right or wrong, just what works for you. Glad you found help
GoodBadGibus
Thank you :)

It helps. We can do this! Maybe not today but one day!

Cognitive behavioral therapy. You learn about the big triangle: feelings->thoughts->behaviors->feelings etc. Fixing one helps fix others
bajeezus
So “getting your act together” fixes behaviors, talk therapy helps with thoughts, and medication or meditation can help with feelings.
bajeezus
However fixing one helps the others along as well. Training myself not to think “I suck” helps me get things done which makes me feel good
Antrazit
Do you like your job? Do you have a partner you can trust? Do you have friends you can rely on? Do you eat healthy food? Do you sleep well?
ManWithAName
These are awesome tips, I just hate how mental and physical health is treated in the U.S, life here can be exhausting, everything costs.

I do need to say I am lucky with where I live. Before I was 18 it was free and now I pay around 385 a year for therapy.

But meds aren't given that fast.

There can be a million things you can try too, maybe you are too smart for your job and need to educate yourself to do something harder, or
Antrazit
You need to set an outrageous goal to chase, or maybe you are creative and not manifesting it...look deep inside, I’m sure you will find out
Antrazit
And again, if all of that doesn’t help, go try meds. It’s unlikely, but maybe your chemistry is just fucked up
Antrazit
If you are reasonably well put together and you still have depression or anxiety, try meds. It can be a miracle

Its a job. No partner (completely happy with that). It may be some pain i have in my body and the fact i am in between switching therapy atm
IFUKINLOVEGOLDENRETRIEVERS
Do u drink a lot of coffee/caffeine, smoke, or drink? My anxiety went down a lot when I cut out smoking and only drank either occasionally

Switching therapy is a huge deal, give yourself a break until you are settled with the new one.
