Thank you for including the links to the videos. This much easier than matching the shirt you’re wearing to a thumbnail.

Thanks for adding the video link in the comment section as well. It's much easier to access this way. ♥️

Thank you

Can you recommend us a good psycho analytical book?

​@@bogdanstojanovic4292There isn't any "good" psychoanalysis book.

Depends on whether you're in an area where mons can 1~2 hit ya or not.. also, attack patterns... Invisible slimes with just a basic jump move, only able to get ya with more than 10 hits, i dunno, not very anxiety like

Good one tbh. Feeling like something bad is going to happen for no apparent reason.

​@@cobalius this is like, the source of the trauma that causes the long term anxiety lol

​@@cobalius Dark souls in nutshell

Is that... boss music I'm hearing?... Oh, no, it's just the anxiety again.

That's how I use to be. I would watch every thing I say and every move I make because I didn't want to create cringe moments that ruined the rest of my day/week thinking about it. I'm doing so much better but I've missed some great opportunities because of how bad my anxiety was.

Bru you're scaring me now 😰

Anxiety and fear is 2 different thing. Anxiety is made up scenario in our head. Do i need to keep fighting those scenario? Fear is a real threat that you need to overcome. But anxiety is a problem because sometimes it might create too much scenario in our head almost like writing a novel.

hi

Solution?

💚 Thank you.

💚

thank yu

So is this like hearing a lot of negative talk about oneself and the people around you, and not addressing any of it .. because then that makes you Schizo? Because addressing the dark thoughts end up becoming part of your reality, and i already have negative life outlook as i get older and learn about this strange collective called Earth... Im not gonna pile on

If you’re struggling with Anxiety I highly recommend reading “Hope and Help for your Nerves” by Dr. Claire Weekes. That book really helped me, so I hope it can help you too.

AFAIK this is the basics of describing ruminating, and it's relationship with anxiety. Rumination involves repetitive thinking or dwelling on negative feelings and distress and their causes and consequences. The repetitive, negative aspect of rumination can contribute to the development of depression or anxiety and can worsen existing conditions.

@@wombat7961 Schizophrenia is something else entirely. Anxiety are thoughts. Schizophrenia are actual voices being perceived as opposed to one's own thoughts, irrelevant to whichever emotion is being processed at the time they are being heard.

@@wombat7961you’re weird

control sitution right?

Interesting but I feel like it’s the opposite for me. I feel like my anxiety comes from being hyperaware of my situation and the people around me. Just desperately not wanting to never inconvenience anyone but constantly finding myself in situations where no matter what I do, I know someone is going to get inconvenienced so I end up freezing up and just not doing anything.

It's an interesting observation, thank you. Take care 😊

Really man I can't really form emotional bonds with people. intimacy scares me cuz I feel like I'm gonna mess things up and the feeling of the other person leaving just wrenches my heart. So I just talk about stuff like music, books, anime etc with people. I also feel like if I am wasting other peoples time. This happens if I like somebody a lot and I avoid them.

Soubds like Anxious/Avoidant attachment style. I feel you😢

I agree completely.

I finally found my people 😢

Now my people, what do you think about making plans of getting out of this cycle? No hurry, my anxieties aren't going anywhere, anytime soon😂.

I got attacked by an albino grizzly bear in Alaska

😁

Insanely good advice

I feel a renewed sense of hope after reading this comment. My life is a living hell atm for similar reasons to the ones you gave, and knowing that extreme improvement is actually possible has strengthened my resolve, so thank you very much for sharing :)

Enter marriage

LMAO

I'm curious how you came to that conclusion. Care to elaborate?

Same!

In what sense does this not apply to you? You are still trying to control the situation, but now instead of another person it is yourself. In a sense you are trying to control yourself and your actions but fail to do so because you look at the outcome of your inner thoughts instead of what made you end up there instead.

@@noxfelis5333 so are saying control=anxiety? I disagree. That’s an OCD thing which already stems from anxiety. So what is anxiety? Anxiety isn’t control. It’s living in the future.

@@cleopatrajones7096 When you try to control something, you are trying to create a certain outcome, a certain result, henceforth your mind is already in the future and you are trying to avoid a certain futures by controlling what is happening now, failure to do so will lead to anxiety as it leads to unkown or unwelcome events.

@@noxfelis5333 I appreciate the response. I think you’re defining OCD however your last statement said it best. Unknown events. Not undesired. That’s fear. Unknown which is future based. Anxiety is the not knowing. If it happens and becomes undesired that’s anger or fear.

@@cleopatrajones7096 I honestly meaby jumped a bit too fast too conclusion when i read your first post as i don't know you personaly nor all the details of your own struggles. I am not afaik trying to define OCD, but those things shure sounds like it should apply. Anxiety can be trauma related, for example lets say every lunchbreak at school when there is chicken soup, a fat bully, lets name him Bob, always harrasses you and steals your lunch. Now everytime there is chicken soup at school, you try to find a way out, but you just can't, and now the anxiety rises because you just can't run away and you just know Bob is gona come for you and your food, notice that there you already knew the future, but you where helpless and couldn't stop it from happening, somewhere a wish for control is there, so that you can have your peacefull lunch. Now lets say later in life, everytime there is the smell of chicken, or you see chicken, you get this huge fear but you don't remember why, now you are smart and you notice that there is absolutly no reason to be afraid, but still you feel that immence fear, so you try to control it so you behave like a normal person, and that is when the anxiety starts to hit you. Anxiety is rooted in many different feelings, and one of them is fear and also as mentioned it comes in anticipation of something that might be bad.

You basically expect a final boss battle when getting a random encounter on the world map. I hear ya.

Greetings, just a thought. If that worrying/stressing real life problems turns into avoidance and can even lead into isolation, can you still not call it anxiety? Chronic anxiety is a thing. On a good day you just worry over problems, the other days health related symptoms appears. Adrenaline courses through the blood vessels, bpm reaches upto 130, hyperventilation sometimes even not breathing at all, tingling and chills (particularly at the extreme ends of your limbs), cold hands and feet while your head and abdomen feels like it's on fire, trembling and sweating, feeling lightheaded, dizzy, having nausea, your heartbeat is so loud that you can hear it even with loud noises around you, muscles that are so tense that cramps are another form of hell. Angina pectoris comes and goes whenever there's a stressful event happening, maybe it's because of stressing over a real life problem that may be resolved in time or just a very inexplicable, irrational sense of impending doom of maybe "Oh shit! I'm having a heart attack. I'm gonna fucking die! Oh well, I deserve to die anyway." 1/10 won't recommend, the mental everyday anguish isn't worth it. Your anxiety over real life problems can build up and turn to chronic anxiety. If you feel like it's starting to feel like it's too much, consult a medical professional, preferably a clinical psychologist, if needed a psychiatrist. As for me, I'm gonna suffer a bit more till i have enough money for one, for now i find that writing my thoughts help ease my mind, not a lot but hey, it's better than being depressed again. Did i forgot to mention anxiety can lead to depression and such? I was gonna say more but i forgot. I apologise OP for trauma dumping, but i feel like i need to express my thoughts and feelings. Salutations.

Yes ! It is linked in comments

This sounds pretty dangerous.

So what you are saying is that the reason why you can't control my response is because you lack of skills? Damn you must be realy unskilled then! Sounds like you are quite a manipulative person, the kind I and many others wish not to have in their life.

No you can't, you have only limited influence, dictated mostly by the information you possess and circumstances. Sometimes that is enough to manipulate someone to a direction you want them to go, but, sooner or later, it will backfire. You are no God.

@@h4xi0rek not with that mentality 😆

If that is the case, explain why you aren't busy ruling the world instead of posting here. Yeah, thought so.

If you feel content and happy being a loner then I don't see a reason to stop being one. What I just said was probably useless but I decided to write it anyways so hopefully I didn't waste your time.
