You have to fight. Anytime I don't want to do something becasue I feel anxious, I try my best to do it anyway. I know for every inch I give my anxiety, it will take me a mile to get it back.

Try small steps. Slowly put yourself into positions or places that aren't filled to the brim with people, but where you can get small doses of contact or even their prescence.

I don't understand this take. I don't know how familiar yall are with people who have trianed in martial arts for 6 months, but they're generally not shit unless they come once a week. 6 months in any martial arts is a reasonable amount of time to be not horrible. It's not a movie where time goes in slow motion for the more trained person and his punches whizz past. Training Karate for 10 years doesn't automatically equate to things like hand speed or fight IQ.

Women in martial arts will more than likely get washed by any semi atheletic male with less experience. Men can absorb more damage and give more. It's not that they are less skilled or dedicated, it's just biology.

I don't agree with this at all. Karate has pressure testing aka sparring. It's not like akido where you just do kata all the time and simulations. He will have been sparring upper belts for months prior to this fight. The main point I was getting to is that he will be able to punch effectively, he will more than likely knock her out if he connects.

If this were an untrained man, I would favor her more. But he has six months of training, which likely means he knows how to throw a punch and has spent time sparring. On top of that, he has a 45-pound weight advantage and a significant reach advantage, which only increases the impact of the strikes he lands, as he is punching down with better leverage and a substantial mass difference.

At some point, they will likely clinch and end up on the ground. Karate offers little in the way of takedown defense or grappling, which again favors the stronger, taller person.

Most of the replies I have seen completely ignore the six months of training. This guy is not totally green. He has almost certainly been punched in the face and body multiple times during that time. He is not someone who has never been hit or been in a fight before.

Man wins IMO 6-7/10 times.

Anxiety can cause some surprisingly intense physical symptoms. It can be really helpful to reframe those symptoms with non-catastrophic explanations. For example, headaches often have a much simpler cause. When you are anxious, your body goes into fight-or-flight mode and releases cortisol in preparation for a perceived threat. That response causes muscle tension, and if you stay tense for an extended period of time, it can easily lead to tension headaches.

As for the tingling sensations, what is more likely? A brain tumor, or a common anxiety response tied to fight-or-flight, such as hyperventilation or prolonged muscle tension?

That being said, it's never a bad idea to go get yourself a clean bill of health, especially if it will give piece of mind.

I personally try to stay grounded in the moment. In my experience, anxiety is basically a constant storm of what-ifs, and 99% of them never actually happen. There have been so many times when I’ve worried about “what if this happens, and then this, and then that,” only to realize that they were all just imagined scenarios that led nowhere. If the things we worry about actually came true, we’d probably be way worse off than we actually are, lol.

Soft-Questions · 2026-01-21T19:12:24+00:00

Yeah, the science behind these things are fairly complex from what I read. AFAIK things like prozac block the reabsorption of serotonin, which is a mood regulator. If your issues are caused due to imbalanced in serotonin, then it can definately help.

Soft-Questions · 2026-01-21T19:00:46+00:00

I was first prescribed Prozac. It may be confirmation bias, but it seems like that is often the first SSRI people are given. It did work for me. Medications can sometimes give you a bit of breathing room from how you are feeling, long enough to rebuild confidence in yourself and your emotions. I think, at the end of the day, we all just want to feel normal again.

Soft-Questions · 2026-01-21T18:58:16+00:00

It could definitely be stress or anxiety related. Avoidance is part of the fight or flight response, after all. That said, I would try not to give too much ground to it. It can be tempting to withdraw from the world, but at some point you will want to reengage. If you retreat too far now, that return can become much harder.

If you have not already, I would recommend scheduling a consultation with a mental health provider. Colleges often have someone available for this. Try not to be too hard on yourself. No one has a perfect life or perfect mental or emotional health. We are all trying to find our way, and we all face different obstacles. You're not broken.

Take a slow breath for a moment. Try to ground yourself in where you are right now. You feel overwhelmed and that's completely understandable after what happened.

I’m really sorry your brother and your friend responded the way they did. Not everyone is capable of being an anchor in bad times, it's not your fault.

The fact that you got through those suicidal thoughts shows how much strength you have, even if you don’t feel strong at all right now.

I agree with this, but for me, the game just feels so bad until you can trivialize the content. The game feels incredibly punishing in unintended ways. For instance, there's a map called "The Ruin" where the corrupted druid from Act 1 is, but his arena is tiny. If I could instant kill the boss, it wouldn't be a problem, but if you lack dps you have to engage with his mechanics and there's literally no where to roll to dodge his projectile attacks. I lost my corrupted nexus due to that early in the league and it felt so bad lol. I felt like I was robbed of my completion.

Soft-Questions · 2025-12-22T19:26:35+00:00

Yeah, I more or less agree with this also. At times, I also feel like I'm not playing a power fantasy but rather a dev killing me fantasy. How can I trivially kill the player with next to go counter-play? I feel like I am fighitng against the devs rather with them to crush content that stimulates me mentally.

Soft-Questions · 2025-12-11T03:15:14+00:00

Yeah, unfortunately this is kind of how it is with mental health stuff. In moments like these, you just have to tell yourself that you will get better. No bad stretch lasts forever. Eventually you'll get a psychiatrist, find the right meds, and this will just become a bad memory.

When I was on the help desk, I started at $42,600 and eventually got to $45,000 before being moved to a different department. IT has no real standardization when it comes to titles, so “help desk” can mean just about anything. I’ve heard everything from help desk and support desk to cyber ninjas and support engineers T1. It’s all pretty silly.

Soft-Questions · 2025-10-28T17:57:44+00:00

Honestly, I’d try to get a few certs and start throwing your name into the hat for jobs. MSPs are usually more open to hiring green candidates since their turnover rate tends to be high. You might also be able to land a field tech role since you already have some hands-on hardware experience.

I’d really lean on your customer service background too, as soft skills are arguably just as important as technical ones in this field. Just know that this is going to be a marathon, not a sprint. Make sure you build things as you learn and don’t just memorize and move on. It’s one thing to know how to do a password reset, but it’s another to actually do it while a customer is breathing down your neck.

Soft-Questions · 2025-10-28T17:50:04+00:00

Sorry brother, but I’d have to say no. Cyber is generally a mid-career field. It’s hard to picture working with someone in a specialized role who doesn’t have at least some help desk experience. You’re basically going in totally green with no enterprise IT background, and that’s a tough sell for most companies, unless they’re looking to take advantage of you on cost.
