I think I need to find healthy outlets and coping skills to handle anxiety I have from social interactions and shit like that. I experience a level of anxiety that gets pretty gnarly and really makes me act strangely/impulsively with little regard to my own safety. if things don't go well in social interactions I just become somewhat suicidal and feel like cutting myself or other things to hurt myself. ive never actually cut myself or anything but one time I was sitting in the bathroom shaving and I just about impulsively cut my wrists just to do it but I was able to stop myself because I was afraid of getting blood everywhere and having my roommate freak out
Have you ever tried meditation
No
My response was entirely genuine. I think you're a cool dude and I hope you take action to change yourself and overcome what it is you are dealing with. If you ever want to have a genuine conversation just message me or call me and I'll take off my persona and we can chat. Good luck dude
for some people that is extremely tough, more so than others
yeah I figured so, and since he said he abused it in the past probably not the best idea
@yns unironically give CBD oil a try for anxiety, it's not addictive the way benzos are and its really effective for some people, maybe you'll be one of those people
surely there is no harm in at least trying it
It's an alternative to the nature stuff if that's not viable. I've heard good accounts
I don't understand why some of you are suggesting workarounds. Deal with the problem, don't avoid it
I can’t really do that. I’m sober and work in the rehab field. Taking CBD oil is a bad idea. I want to stay away from anything related to abusable drugs. I know CBD isn’t psychoactive but I still can’t take it due to its relation with weed. Maybe buspar or something
or just unironically get on lithium
I still can’t take it due to its relation with weed.
well if this ever changes, you ought to give it a try, it's one of the few treatments for anxiety that doesn't lose effectiveness over time and isn't addictive.
hopefully you figure something out, anxiety is some terrible shit to live with
i'd give this a try
but i'd say move towards taking steps as soon as possible to start tackling it otherwise you'll put it off over and over again and uhhh you don't wanna do that
yo yns dont go near benzodiazepines
also just join some sort of hemp clothing company or something im sure u could grab some tom ford pants and seamrip them and make them in 100% pesticide free white-owned business farmed USA hemp
I dont have health insurance
you should make enough to get on a plan that would be able to cover something like that yeah?
