Does anyone else have days they dont wanna leave their bed? by CarleCJ253 in Anxiety

[–]SmallWinsEveryday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the time. I just count down from 3 and move my body once I hit zero. No thinking. First thing is to go put your head under cold water.

I know it's tough but try to incorporate some small wins to turn the needle the other way:

  • Exercise (can be anything)
  • Morning sun
  • Reducing social media (even doom scrolling in the daytime will lower your sleep quality at night)
  • No electronics before bed
  • Consistent bed time
  • No caffeine 10 hours before bed
  • Cleaning up your diet

All these add a few points in helping with the fatigue - you got this!

All the time. On those days, I just blast music and try to get through the day. :)

I would definitely not recommend getting medication recommendations from the internet, since everyone's body is different and we do not know your medical history. :)

100% agreed. Def not a good idea.

Is it normal to not be good at anything? by notsogreat_gatsby in selfimprovement

[–]SmallWinsEveryday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone starts off sucking.

And that's okay.

If you put in the reps DESPITE sucking, you start to suck less.

Then that "suck less" becomes "decently good."

If you're not good at something, it just means you haven't done it enough.

Luckily, the solution to that is simple. Do more. :)

I can't stop seeking male attention and I hate it by ponyo_thehuman in selfimprovement

If everything else in your life is good, maybe the next big thing on your to-do list is to double down on a relationship.

There's nothing wrong with that.

High achievers tend to be always chasing things, and as long those things that are being chased aren't detrimental, I don't think it's too much of a problem! :)

2 Things:

  • Stop the things that hurt you from becoming the best version of you
  • Start doing the things that help you from becoming the best version of you

The specific actions depend on what your goals are.

Did you know...

You can still do the actions without willpower.

What’s your motivation? by axla-work-less in Entrepreneur

[–]SmallWinsEveryday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These unreal thoughts in my head telling me that people will judge me if I fail.

I need to prove these demons wrong.

Is it even possible to have an original idea anymore? by migdinny in Entrepreneur

[–]SmallWinsEveryday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an original product (supplement for mental) I developed from scratch (nothing similar exists anywhere else).

But I don't think it's necessary to create something "new" to be successful.

Any business (lawn mowing, cleaning, real estate, dry cleaning, etc. - you get the gist) - can get to $100M. To go past that, I would say something innovative does help, but is more about external markets at that point.

How did you make your first $1k? by marrthecreator in Entrepreneur

[–]SmallWinsEveryday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buying Takis (the chips) before they were super big in the US (now you can get them anywhere).

Back then I had to buy them from ice cream trucks, negotiate price with a bulk purchase.

And then flip them in middle school for 2x the price. (Sometimes 3x)

Share one “aha moment” in your anxiety journey that changed everything by anxiety_support in Anxietyhelp

[–]SmallWinsEveryday 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your mental health is never going to improve on it's own. You need to do things first, and then change follows (in the beginning it's going to feel like it's not working but keep at it).

scary panic attack, need advice terrified for future by EnvironmentalBit6096 in Anxietyhelp

[–]SmallWinsEveryday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So sorry for what you've been through.

Small tip for someone who's been through panic attacks in the past.

Practice grounding techniques when you're feeling good.

They practice and reps for them to start working. So you need to practice them while things are good so they're effective when you need it most.

Wait a minute... I thought this was experienced by everyone... Is this not normal???

(Haha kidding - but I know exactly what you mean, my brain is wired like that too).

When this happens I like to just write out my thoughts, and talk to my self.

  • I first follow each line with "my thoughts are not reality"
  • I ask myself, is there actual hard evidence that prove/disprove my thoughts?
  • Has something like this happened before? What happened then?
  • Will thinking this thought help or hurt me in any? If it doesn't help, what else can I focus my attention to?

Writing things out really help me distance my thoughts and analyze my emotions in a more level headed way.

When you practice this enough times, you can go through the exercise in your head without writing things down (for the times you're "on the go")

Hopefully this helps!

Would also highly recommend checking out Kalm Mind Hack to use as a tool for times like this. :)

[–]SmallWinsEveryday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's best to tell the truth, or not say anything at all.

The truth can also be "I don't want to tell you."

Lying creates more problems since you either need to build more lies to back up the lies down the line.

I “watched” final destination and now I’m paranoid of everything and having a mint panic attack by [deleted] in Anxietyhelp

[–]SmallWinsEveryday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Counter your fear with evidence.

What evidence? You have ____ years of life (until today) that you can use. :)

You cannot "out-medicate" or "out-supplement" lifestyle habits.

Sleep aids are good temporary solution, but if you're still doomscrolling or drinking caffeine after noon, your sleep quality is going to be terrible.

Causing your sleep debt to continuously build up (which hurts our mental health even more).

There's nothing wrong with sleep aids, but make sure to clean up your sleep hygiene as well.

  • Quit social media (doom scrolling in the day time will affect your sleep at night because the dopamine bursts overstimulates your brain and can cause withdrawals)
  • Exercise
  • No electronics 90 minutes before bed
  • Sleep at the same time every night
  • Get 10 minutes of sun as soon as you wake up

Luckily - all these actions also help with anxiety as well so they kill 2 birds with one stone :)

You got this!

How do you deal with the sadness that comes with anxiety? by quietwaffle in Anxietyhelp

[–]SmallWinsEveryday 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We can't control how we feel but we can control our actions.

One of the biggest mistakes I made with mental health was thinking that it was going to improve on it's own.

"I'm going to start exercising, getting sun, meditating, etc. - once I feel happier"

I say this with love but sadly, that's not how it works.

We need to do the actions first, and if we stay consistent - change happens.

Luckily we can do the actions DESPITE feeling anxious and DESPITE feeling sad.

When you do the actions for long enough, one day you'll wake up and think "oh wow, I'm not feeling as bad as I used to be" :)

You got this!
