I'm serious
I keep thinking someone is going to die
I haven't experienced death in family yet, so I'm always paranoid when people I love step out of the house

Jayden what's wrong because u did kinda act out one day last week. I was concerned :stressed:
I didn't even think this was a real thing. I just always shrugged it off as some white lady shit. But I started having it really bad around January. I just felt nervous all the time, butterflies in stomach, on the edge, body tingles....
It was the trippiest thing. I started Googling the symptoms and everything I was feeling was spelled out as having anxiety.
It's a real thing, and it can literally make you feel like you're having a 24/7 outer body experience. And I usually only ever feel it when work is overwhelming.

I'm usually always relaxed and laid back and only stressed at work, but I know how to hide that we'll.
But lately I catch myself from having panic attacks over the silliest things :dead:
Like if my little brother goes out and comes back late or my sisters don't pick up the phone....
I assume they've been kidnapped and i start breaking down!

No, I know exactly what you're talking about. You can go days feeling on the edge. You can literally cry on cue. It's crazy!
I always thought "anxiety" was just a fancy way of saying you're stressed out.
When that shit starts affecting you physically, you quickly understand the difference.
Just take it easy!

Omg thought this was just me
I've only experienced my grandpa's death but I was like 10 at the time so I wasn't close enough with him to fully...grieve.
Every time my mom leaves and doesn't answer the phone I get super 'rvous and start imagining the worst. :stressed:
Jjjjjuuuuuuuuu I know it sounds stupid but if someone leaves the room and it's all quiet I always think they're being held at gun point or they've fallen down the stairs and they are dead so I always check if they are OK or call out for them gggggggggggg :uhh:
:kii:
This Kim K. in Paris mess.
Wow
And also I try not to listen to songs like One Sweet Day or Missing You because somehow I trick myself into thinking that I'm jinxing a family member's death & I'll break out in tears djbdndbdn ::omgwatshappening:

Yup not as bad I used to. Got a prescription for xanax which works well when things get a little overwhelming but also don't like relying on them
I used to but now I trained myself to not care anymore and being anixious just hurts me more instead of helping. So I'm never anixious these days. Meditation really helped me. I had a life changing experience through meditation and it gave me a new outlook on life.
the white people at my job do even though I think they use that as an excuse to not work harder

I felt so embarrassed talking to anyone about it. People will legit think you're crazy and make assumptions about your mental health.
For 3-4 days straight, I literally felt like I was high and my body tingled all over. I was tripping that I could Google my symptoms, and there were so many people that had the same story.

You probably need to get checked up. I remember when my anxiety was through the damn roof I started to call my mom all the time to check on her and starting thinking "what if" :gorlonfire: and getting all paranoid. Glad that faze is over. A lot of ppl think it's a kii when I say mediation works but it really does. Ack! I can't remember the last time I was anxious.

no bby.
if you smoke Indica, trust me you will be stress free, happy and chilling.
however, Sativa will have you hype, and WIDE-AWAKE so that one probably isn't the most ideal for calming yourself down. it does the opposite.
so that one may make the anxiety worse tbh

Well there's two types that make it tricky
Anxiety is one of the things that doubles as a mood and a disorder
So even tho everyone feels anxious at times, it passes like other moods
If you feel it constantly, then you've developed a disorder.
I've dealt with it and I help others that have it as well too.
black people are so damaged to not acknowledge this serious issue

There have been 2 times where I've felt the physical effects of anxiety. It was def an attack and I couldn't stabilize my breathing. They both happened when I would see an ex unexpectedly. And the crazy part was that we weren't even within 50 ft of each other and he didnt see me.

Quote from: witch on June 01, 2017, 06:36:49 PM
A lot of ppl think it's a kii when I say mediation works but it really does. Ack! I can't remember the last time I was anxious.
What kind of meditation exercises do you do?
For a couple days I did one of those progressive muscle relaxation techniques, and it kinda worked. But I felt a bit silly doing that, so I stopped. :dead:
I have horrible anxiety, and panic attacks. I remember a few years ago I had an attack so bad I was shivering on the couch in fear :plzstop: :uhh:
I went to the doctor some years ago because I was having horrible chest pains, so I immediately thought my heart was about to give out or something. They did tests and everything and were like "well your heart is healthy, it's probably anxiety related"
the doctor hooked me up with some pills.....I took the first one a day or two after because my anxiety was flaring up.....it fucked me up SO bad (the pill) I was so out of it I could barely walk :uhh: it was Lorazepam I believe....that one pill impaired me so badly it actually made my situation worse because I was scared as hell. It was at that point that I realized I couldn't do the medicine thing.....the pills they had for me were so strong and I didn't want to risk becoming addicted to them. So I made the decision to deal with it naturally....whenever I feel an attack coming on I immediately force myself to snap out of it and take deep breaths.
Dealing with it without the help of pills or medicine can be done even though it's hard at first. But I'm really proud of myself. I've learned to cope with it, and I'm not strung out on pills. I'm really happy to have made that decision.
:howfestive:
Not really these days but a couple of years ago it was the pits. I remember coming on Bsource talking about toxic relationships. I was really going through it. At one point it became so bad I practically locked myself in the house and wouldn't go anywhere. My friend had to force me out into public settings and just deal with shit. That really helped me tremendously tbh. Sometimes you just have to thrust yourself into uncomfortable situations to overcome your fears. Between that and tossing people out of my life >>>>>>>
Once I learned how to to say no and put my happiness first before others everything became so clear. My last panic attack was early 2013.
No
I kinda just live life and whatever happens is supposed to happen

Yes I have to take ativan daily.
No, I don't.
But I have some friends and family who have them.
And dealing with someone who has an anxiety disorder can be extremely taxing and exhausting... to the point where people can get tired of you. As cruel as that sounds.
I've always remained empathic and present for those individuals in my life.
It becomes easier to deal with once that person gets help and adapts new ways of dealing with symptoms, tho.
Also, this is a real condition.
Some people just dismiss the issue as "stress" or "dramatics".
It's not. And it requires emotional support. And anxiety management.
love this thread.

Major anxiety.
I've read that anxiety and inexplicable depression can be caused by Hypothyroidism or Hyperthyroidism (which are painless physical disorders). Their symptoms are very similar to depressive disorders too. Checking your thyroids isn't a bad idea.
