How can I fix my mental health for good?

[Anonymous]

I hit the gym every day, I sleep 8 hours/night, I have a stable job, I have a loving girlfriend, good friends, but I still have panic attacks and I am constantly miserable. I also tried therapy, pills, meditation and nothing works. I am still more neurotic and psychotic than most people. Some people do not notice it, but others clearly do, since they avoid me. I never tell anyone about this because people either don’t understand me or overreact

A small percentage of people can live a good lifestyle and still have anxiety and panic. Some brains are just wired that way. Just know that it would be 100x if you went over to an unhealthy lifestyle.

Have you considered that going on and off meds has caused some lasting effects? When I used to take benzos I actually had worse anxiety than when I never took them. Being off caused major glutamate storms. And it can take months or years to fully recover. Fluoxetine also has that same rebound effect.

You have to want to fix it.
Do you really want to?
A lot of people think they want to but they don't take the necessary steps to make it happen.
In your case the necessary step would be acknowledgement of the past and then letting it go.
You've tried a lot of different things to get through this but the one thing you haven't done is let the past go.

What is “for good” on mental health for you? Because as I understand it, you don’t stop feeling the way you do, you just learn to control your reactions better. You can’t stop yourself from feeling triggered but with the right help such as therapy and sometimes medications, it can bring you to a place where you’re not so overwhelmed and the panic attacks go way down than what they would be without that help.

I've had amazing results with fasting and setting boundaries with my workplace.
