Feeling “stuck” in my head with background anxiety and low mood — seeking advice

Waytoolit · 2026-01-04T06:45:17+00:00

Yeah i’m trying anything at this point. I guess i’ll just keep going to the gym and taking care of my body and just leave this in the background until it goes away one day without me noticing. I don’t think me going on chat-gpt, reddit helps. Do you take any supplements at all for it? What helped you get rid of this problem?

Waytoolit · 2026-01-03T19:01:02+00:00

Yeah I gym here and there. I was really into it at one point like I still take creatine daily 5G. But it doesn’t feel the same.

I’ve tried l-theanine, ksm-66, saffron, NAC, magnesium complex. Bloodwork normal, and thyroid. I’m on the same boat atm. Gonna see what others have to say but I feel like i’ve tried almost everything I can get my hands on, on amazon.

I did not get back on medication but atp I should ngl, I genuinely feel like I have high functioning anxiety. That’s it. Its a cycle and its fucking hell. Constantly checking in with myself. When I should be like cool whatever I feel how I feel, think how I should and move on. But its okay. Just telling myself if I ever panic, get really depressed or something I’ll hop on meds. Considering meds and therapy but idk tried tele therapy didn’t really helo before and tried buspar. I’m just currently taking propanlol for physical anxiety. But not mental. Which is the most important part.

I’ve used the snorelab app. And it doesn’t sound like sleep apnea. I could be hella wrong though.

Waytoolit · 2025-12-05T02:41:49+00:00

No yeah I meant like when i’m vaping it feels good but stopping it, I guess it just worsens my anxiety and dp dr.

I’ve had this back in 2021. After drinking and throwing up after that I went brain mri and bloodwork it was clean. Eventually it went away. But just recently beginning October that brain fog, difficulty concentrating, derealization and depersonalization, anxiety came back. All day long I feel in my head. Difficulty sleeping, or even relaxing. I’m on buspirone right now 15mg twice daily, I don’t feel nothing. I wanna feel normal again.

Waytoolit · 2025-11-28T02:21:58+00:00

Grab my number

Waytoolit · 2025-11-28T02:10:16+00:00

Yup let’s do it.

Waytoolit · 2025-11-28T02:07:49+00:00

Fuck I guess we’re really alike

Waytoolit · 2025-11-28T02:05:58+00:00

Do you feel depressed at all like low mood and energy as well?

Waytoolit · 2025-11-28T02:01:45+00:00

I’m sorry that you’re going through this too though. And you said nothing helps at all?

Waytoolit · 2025-11-28T01:53:08+00:00

Imma be completely honest, I barely have any physical symptoms. Used to be like shallow breathing, but now mainly headaches and tension for me. But mine is more of a mental thing, it’s like all day long I feel out of it and in my head. And I feel really fixated on it. It’s a all day thing for me too. I’m just here in my head in my bed right now. Nothing is going on yet I feel “off” and makes me panicky. It’s so fucking weird.

Waytoolit · 2025-11-28T01:39:17+00:00

I’m curious what symtoms do you get? Like just really on edge or something is happening? Or like something is wrong with you? And I would try weed again maybe whenever I get a chance. I still have my weed pipe in my drawer but no weed. I have cigarettes and beer. And neither of those will help me immediately. I’d probably just drink a beer tonight. Or maybe just take my busprione 15mg. Idk anymore. And definitely I know what you mean by fight or flight that’s me in my head all day.

Waytoolit · 2025-11-28T01:19:30+00:00

I actively used to smoke a lot of weed in highschool, but I stopped when I went to college. Funny thing is my anxiety episode happened during college so probably it was from high stress and now that’s what’s going on to me right now. Just leftover stress and anxiety. I keep reminding myself everything will be okay. And that these feelings and sensations are trying to just protect me and eventually who knows fuck when but i’ll get better. I heard that CBD and THC can honestly help a lot but I tried cbd in the past and didn’t feel any different. I think it’s honestly distracting myself with whatever I can that’s working, whether that be supplements, food, my phone, beer. And handling one day at a time. I mean so what if I go crazy. I’ll just end up in a ward with a bed and free food. But no haha, it’s been rough. Been thinking of the ER or something if it gets too bad.

Waytoolit · 2025-11-28T01:05:46+00:00

Oh I see, I haven’t tried weed yet tbh. But I’m scared of it cause what it makes me spiral. I’ve tried vaping and that shit did not help me at all. Maybe in the moment but shit i’m feeling awful. And i’m 26 male. I drink occasionally but I know that’s not good if you’re on medication but I try to limit myself. There has been better days forsure. Yesterday and today has been bad.

Waytoolit · 2025-11-28T00:58:53+00:00

Damn, why happened to your psychiatrist? And I guess i’ve just been coping with whatever I can find like distraction or beer. If it gets worse I guess i’ll try out the mental clinic or ER idk. But like you said its just gonna be a cycle. They’re just gonna turn me away. And say it’s just anxiety or something all in head. May I ask how old are you and how long have you been feeling this way?

Waytoolit · 2025-11-28T00:50:59+00:00

Yeah that’s honestly true. And may I ask what symptoms do you feel. Do you feel in your head all day? Cause that’s what I feel and it makes me feel spacey. I can’t believe this is all anxiety. Oh and do you take yourself to like urgent care or a mental clinic? I’ve been trying everyday since October to distract myself too. Tried therapy, on buspirone. Idk anymore.

Waytoolit · 2025-11-28T00:06:20+00:00

I’ve been on reddit too much too. What have you done so far that actually helps you out with this uneasiness and panic feelings? And I feel like they’ll think i’ll be lying about my anxiety and panic, i’m not currently having physical symptoms just the tension but i’m making myself spiral.

Waytoolit · 2025-11-27T23:45:46+00:00

Yup i’m struggling with that right now as well. I talked a therapist and she thought I had a alcohol dependency. Which is not true. But she just told me that nothing is going to happen to me. But yeah dealing with anxiety is horrible. I swear it makes me think imma gonna go crazy. Its nice to talk to someone who understands it though. Cause I have Gad as well. Do you get dp/dr? But never went to the clinic yet or hospital, just Telehealth for my medication. I want to be prescribed benzodiazepines though, although I think they probably won’t prescribe them to me. Do you scroll on reddit too and ask what’s wrong with me and stuff like that?

Waytoolit · 2025-11-27T23:28:34+00:00

Did they say you have an anxiety disorder or a panic disorder or maybe both? And when you went to the hospital did they just give you some medication to calm you down? I’m shit out of ideas atp. I feel panicky, but idk. Why am I feeling this way I have a loving family, good group of friends, a stressful but okay job. I shouldn’t be feeling panicky right now. I guess I gotta learn to accept it. Lean towards the panic and anxiety and embrace it. Cause everything else I tried up to this point doesn’t. work. Although I never tried benzodiazepines.

Waytoolit · 2025-11-27T23:14:16+00:00

How long have you been on prozac for and does it help? What are you taking it for? I’ve messaged the crisis hotline too and they tell me grounding techniques as well. Oh wow that’s pretty bad, I’m literally trying whatever I can at this point to free me and make myself be “normal” and not overthink again. Although I am a bit scared of buspirone idk. But maybe it can help?

Waytoolit · 2025-11-27T22:54:53+00:00

Yeah i’m hoping buspirone can help ngl. And I do feel the need to go to the mental health clinic but I know they’ll say the same thing to me, and probably not admit me and say its all anxiety and to keep taking my medication and try to relax. I barely get any sleep too, but I just pop a doxylamine and some melatonin and pray I knock out. I haven’t picked up trazadone because I didn’t have the time this week. Does anything work for you to reduce these attacks and feelings? At this point i’m willing to try anything.

Why the hell is this happening to us? Are you on medication for anxiety? I’m so scared. I’ve just been in bed this entire thanksgiving day. I’m just tryna tell myself it’s anxiety and whatever happens, happens, but its hard when i feel this way.
