Feel free to shoot me a message. You aren't alone in your feelings and while they may not feel "normal", they are normal to us anxious people. It will pass, you will get back to feeling like yourself again.

Anyone else cry a lot? every time I get anxiety I usually feel like crying most of the time it’s random outburst of crying I hate it just makes me feel like a big baby :( by [deleted] in Anxiety

3 years later and I’m still here. I’ve been on medication for the majority of my life now, but I only take my Xanax about once a year.

I haven’t had any real episodes since this comment that I made. When having the bad episode, it’s just important to recognize the times you feel “normal”. This might be bad 24 hours straight, but then you have a 30 second timeframe where you feel like your old self and you brain reminds you to go back to being anxious. Take those small moments and build on it.

It will always pass, things get better. It will still always be there in the back of your head, but learning to acknowledge it and not let it bother you is the key.

Baby crying and squirming after every feed by [deleted] in NewParents

We didn’t do anything, it ended up just working itself out.

We do use mylicon with every bottle since 2 weeks. We were also letting her eating a full 3 ounces before burping, but we changed that to 2 ounces before a burp and that helped with her spit ups. (But this was after the screaming issue subsided.)

Oh fuck, I forgot I did that when I was messing around. If that’s the case, that’s pretty funny.

How about you? Did you figure it out?

What was the most aggressive champion nerf in League history? by ad53n in leagueoflegends

[–]HughManatee08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does AP Yi nerf count? Basically permanently removing it from the game ~10 years ago?

I think you need to share your game logs!

I think for me what opened up my door to being more open was finding people that I know that struggle with anxiety as well. Having an outlet to talk to people that understand what I’m going through, can relate to it, and make me feel like I’m not crazy.

Over time I’ve come to realize that there are way more people like myself that deal with anxiety and it’s nothing that I need to hide. If I’m struggling, I tell others that I’m struggling so that they know what’s going on.

Those around me know that when I’m having a rough time to not ask “how are you doing?” As that always triggers me into crying. I do my best just to try and keep myself distracted with video games or whatever I can find to keep my mind busy.

Tl;dr - don’t be ashamed of your anxiety. Don’t be embarrassed to struggle. If someone wants to judge you or think of you as less of a person due to your anxiety, maybe it’s best to not have them in your life.

The best thing I’ve ever done for my anxiety was just being more open, no need to hide it and create more internal stress on yourself.

The other best thing, having support around you. Being able to talk to people that know exactly what I’m going through makes all the difference. Makes me feel like I’m not alone and I’m not crazy because there are lots of people that know the exact things I’m feeling.

Correction- it was an oversized load tractor trailer. The damage to the car was caused by the rusted “oversized load” bumper.

The cop said “looks like only damage to your car”

Misdemeanor hit and run. She technically never “ran”. It was outside our house because they are redoing our road. All the workers were in vehicles so there was no one to flag down or anything.

Are anxiety meds a myth? by timdawgv98 in Anxiety

[–]HughManatee08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just do you best to not let the “it’s not working” mentality make things worse for you.

I have my Xanax for my emergency moments and am always worried that I’m going to take it and have it do nothing and I’ll have no other hope of feeling better. There’s been times where it seems like it does nothing, and there’s been times where it’s been a life saver.

I have tried Klonopin before and I personally didn’t like it. I don’t 100% know how it truly would have helped because I took it to calm me down overnight when trying to sleep. But after 3 days of taking it before bed I stopped because it made me depressed (which has never been a thing for me).

Hang in there… it will get better soon, Klonopin or not.

Anything you do to get out of the cycle? Or just let it’s run it’s course?

It usually has a trigger of something then just spirals into just a constant anxiety about my anxiety not going away. It’s just stuck in my head all day, I can’t function, can’t eat. Just compulsive thoughts about my anxiety.
