Do you suffer from anxiety? If so why? And how do you deal with it?

Question

nolabels · Accepted Answer

I do.
I seem to have always had anxiety problems.

This year, the reasons for my severe anxiety have absolutely exploded in number and intensity.
It's a very long story.
Too much to tell here.

How do I deal with it?
After trying numerous anti-anxiety medications that didn't sit at all well with me, I've finally resorted back to alcohol.

I'm an alcoholic who quit drinking completely for 35+ years.
For those 35+ years, I white-knuckled my way through my anxieties.

It seems that I'm back at the bottle, for now anyway.

With my cardiac health issues, it's probably not the best idea, but it's working for me for the time being.

I guess I'll see what the future brings.

I wouldn't recommend following my path.

Cheers and good luck to you.

Silly question but do you suffer from back/shoulder problems? I've talked to quite a few people who found once that was sorted their anxiety disappeared.

I had it as a teen, but I took steps to overcome it. A public speaking course had a lot to do with my confidence being boosted by 100%.

I think my anxiety comes from childhood experience. I spent most of my time alone because my dad worked out of the country and my mom had depression. So I'd be by myself at home pretty much every day for years unless I was at school. And then since I only ate fast food and junk food, since no one was cooking or monitored how much I ate, I was overweight. That made me a target of bullying at school.

So between those things, I imagine I've subconsciously learned that social interactions will be unpleasant and that's the source of my anxiety. I just suck it up and do what I need to, whether it's unpleasant or not (it usually is). And then I destress through escapism. Then repeat.

I do understand now, in retrospective... that I had experienced some forms of social and general anxiety, as a kid... but is not something I've deal with in the present, or as an adult

Yes. I allow it to fully suffocate me. Then it goes away.

I don't think so. Maybe I would if I didn't keep myself busy and grounded. I think that's supposed to be the best cure for anxiety per behavioral psychologists.
