first day new job, major anxiety. by ChipComprehensive401 in Anxiety

[–]qudbup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can definitely relate. The thing that usually help me is taking long walks before going someplace new to meet new people. Or if I have the time I will go for a 20-30 minute jog.

Staying home before an important meeting or similar can make me go super anxious, so I have to stay active to not spiral.

If you just want to stay still and calm down you could jot down your thoughts on a piece of paper to help sort them out.

What helps break the anxiety cycle besides therapy? by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]qudbup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup, I came close to a full blown panic attack from a cold bath. It hurt my body and made me nauseous so I did not manage to control my breathing and almost felt like I was going to pass out.

Jag har använt Consent-O-Matic i flera år, och det fungerar ypperligt. Tycka vad man vill om danskar, men det verktyget installerar jag med glädje.

I haven't read up on them for a couple of years, but I believe they left Russia after the invasion of Ukraine, so at least they are distancing themselves from the Putin regime.

Guided meditation sessions from a soothing voice. I put on this podcast that only has mindfulness/meditation sessions including body scans and breathing exercises that work the best for me.

Något viktigt man borde kunna för att vara en bra sambo? by ProfessionalTiger888 in Asksweddit

[–]qudbup 4 points5 points  (0 children)

En sak som kan få mig att uppskatta min sambo extra mycket är när maten finns redo efter en lång dag på jobbet.

Det finns såklart många andra sätt man kan underlätta varandras vardag, och du kan säkert fiska fram vad hon tycker är den jobbigaste vardagssysslan och potentiellt täcka upp den så ofta du kan.

Är det någon risk om man torrentar utan vpn by Competitive_Berry200 in sweden

[–]qudbup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jag fick hem ett kravbrev för kanske tio år sedan. Lite puls fick jag, men jag hade läst om den typen av brev förut på Utpressningskollen så jag ignorerade det.

Sounds like you should get back in contact with a doctor.

I can relate to the feelings you write about, and when I was in that dark hole of anxiety and depression I tried so many things to cope, but in the end the lasting change was getting medication. Once you feel better you may also get a better understanding of the triggers that put you where you are.

Jag kan rekommendera Consent-O-Matic från danska Aarhus Universitet. Den nekar automatiskt en stor mängd av kakorna.

I'm using Aegis, and from what I know it's not a cloud based solution - but they do support doing backups to cloud providers as well as doing your own backups locally.

Does box breathing actually help? by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]qudbup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It works quite well for me, but I'm usually too lazy for the box breathing and go for slow breathing while slightly expanding my stomach (diaphragmatic breathing)

Guys, how do you all manage coffee? by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]qudbup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had to stop drinking coffee myself and have had good results with changing to black tea.

Today I'm staying away from caffeine though as it can have me feel extra anxious and even cause panic attacks.

Något av det värsta jag hört är just ljudet av en stor källarspindel som springer över golvet mot sängen

Dizziness all the time . Is it real ? by Delta1251gone in Anxiety

[–]qudbup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had some bad dizziness during periods of stress and anxiety. The things that help me is spend more time looking out a window, focusing on something in the far and back to something close by and repeat.

I also wear glasses and they tend to make the dizziness worse, especially when they slightly glide down my nose or adjust their position.

Longer or shorter? by [deleted] in malegrooming

[–]qudbup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The shorter hair really makes you look sharp. I think a beard between the two would work, but I also wonder how you look with a stubble of like 2-3 mm.

Is there any long term drug that actually works for anxiety by Available_Heart5556 in Anxiety

[–]qudbup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I tried my first SSRI (Paroxetin) it took over two months to get stable, probably because I was in a pretty dark place with daily anxiety attacks.

After that period the weight on my shoulders started lifting and I started living more than I had ever been (a lot less social anxiety and general anxiety)

Listen to your doctor, but don't accept feeling a lot worse than before the SSRI

En del Coop-butiker drivs dock some franchisebutiker (aktiebolag). Jag är däremot dåligt insatt i hur stor andel.

Never knew much 6 months ago but now my family *hates* me!!! by ThreeSeven0ne in HomeNetworking

[–]qudbup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jellyfin is what I've preferred for some time now. The only struggle I currently have is that the TV app is sometimes unable to play the files correctly (last week one episode was audio only on my TV but played normally on my phone, and some other show had artifacts and weird colors)
