anxiety

[ill-matic]

for the past few weeks ive been feeling anxious and nervous for no reason at all. right now things are pretty good in my life - i have every reason to be content. i scraped through all my exams so i dont need to repeat anything, im working so i aklways have money, i have plenty of liesure time, ambitions, seeing a lot of my friends lately, and im seeing a great chicka.

but for some reason i feel nervous and anxious. my thoughts travel like a fucking slide show at such a fast pace that im not really "digesting" anything if that makes sense. they just whiz by. i dont feel relaxed.. i feel tense.. high strung... as if there SHOULD be a problem, but there really isnt

god bless my mum, and i love her to death, but she had a hard life and she's somewhat emotionally volattile. i think ive inherited it, because i see some parallels between some of her emotional behavioural patterns and mine


anyone else feel this anxiety shit?

My roommate takes zoloft for his anxiety. It is a family problem for him, might be the same for you.

i only get that way when i have a heap of shit hanging over my head and its closing in on me, other wise im pretty chilled out.

Your sounding a bit emo dude.

Maybe your depressed.

Would you say that things in your life are always positive? I doubt it. You might do a pretty good job of highlighting the positives in mind, but life is not that easy, is it?

You're saying your thoughts travel like a slide show - I think that indicates that you have many things on your mind, and you're not able to organize those thoughts. School, work, friends, family - it's normal to worry about those things. I'd be more worried if you didn't worry about them... wait.. infinite loop?!

Bottom line - yeah, we all feel that shit, and we all deal with it differently. Personally, I wouldn't rely on pills if I can function in life - and I think you are functioning pretty well.
It's so easy for doctors and therapists to turn these kinds of simple problems into something bigger. People that make Prozac are making a killing off these stressed out people.
My alternative - chewing mango gum and washing dishes.

the "anxiety shit" is likely a part of some sort of phobia, and it's something you're gonna have to learn to live with. you can keep it in bay at best.

i currently receive treatment for stress and anxiety issues, mostly tied with social phobia and overlapping symptoms.

imagine your day as a graph. on the y axis are the different types of emotions you can feel, and on the x axis are the hours throughout a day. before you go to sleep, it is important to have been through as many "levels" of emotion as possible, and also, it is important to have some time to cool off before you go to bed. the anxiety is normal. as you grow older, your awareness of what you have to lose in life, and the fright of that loss becoming reality grows your wearier about the consequences of bad choices, etc etc. evil circle, perfectly normal, nothing else to do but learn to deal with it. at best, with psychological treatment, anxiety can be held at bay. it's somewhat "genetic" or biological and pre-programed in the human brain though.

also, this whole thing about should feel a problem but there isn't, the irrationality around your anxiety feelings, i rly relate. got yourself checked for social phobia? people with social phobia can love being part of a company, they can love holding speeches in front of people, it has nothing to do with fright or being limited. it's got everything to do with HOW you deal with different things, and from your post the thought occurred to me. who knows though, maybe you have a lot on your plate right now without seeing it fully.

You are clinically depressed...

Take 2 razor blades before bed and call me in the morning.

do you usually have things in your life going this good? you may have the same complex that effects me. i usually get this impending feeling of doom whenever things are going too good in my life, as though things should be going bad pretty soon. maybe it's because that's the way it usually happens to me. when things are going too good, they almost always fall apart disastrously.

 

[S O F I]

^That's the way it happens for everybody. It's Karma's evil cousin.

Think back to when you (all of you) felt really happy, maybe after nailing a pretty hot chick, or being in a relationship that made you really happy, or for some of you, getting that ps3 or 360. Think one month before that moment or one month after that moment, and tell me something really shitty didn't happen to you or to someone you care about that fucked you up.
