I need urgent help with anxiety · 9:04pm Dec 1st, 2019
Anybody who's experienced anxiety got any ideas how to deal with crippling episodes of anxiety and or depressive thoughts? Really need some ideas before I lose my mind.

Masturbate. Seriously it really does relieve stress.
Finding something calming to focus on helps like reading and games.

That, and do math while you breathing within 8 seconds, hold it for 4 and exhale for 7 seconds. You can run until your mind is not clouded but unless your neighborhood is nice, I wouldn’t recommended.
Seriously, meditation and gratitude has been working for me. I think on things I am grateful for, and meditate on them. Sometimes harder to find than others, but can almost always find something to be grateful for even in deep depression. Having friends to talk to about feelings helps too, if you can find them. Will keep you in my prayers FireRain.
Seriously focusing on something always helps. Especially if it's work. Music can only exacerbate the issue, but just writing or doing an essay can really channel that feeling out.

Writing literally does nothing for me anymore. Dare I say it, but I've gone completely off writing. There. I said it.
At least, when I play guitar and I'm angry, or if I really get into what I'm playing, it turns into a wrestling match. Surprised my guitar's still in one piece, nevermind the strings!

That's fair mate, for me playing music only makes the feeling intensify. But, if it eases you, it eases you. We're all different after all.

Ay, sunshine! D'at is true!
Music does help in most scenarios, I.E, when you have a breakup or if you're sad, it's always a medium to soothe your pain. But for me, it's more of an outlet for my rage. I spend a while performing Endless, Nameless by Nirvana on my guitar, and I ended up punching the absolute shit out of my strings and fretboard!
(In the Nirvana museum, from the album Nevermind, Kurt played it as a hidden track on the album and you can see the Stratocaster he played it with. It's displayed in a glass case and it's in multiple pieces. The body is split in two and it's completely wrecked!)

Never tried meditation, simply because I don't know how. I'm naturally too impatient to sit still for so much as five minutes, so it's never crossed my mind. Unless it's similar to what I used to do, where I lay in bed at night and I close my eyes and I try to lose myself in my thoughts. I literally see the pleasant thoughts and visions in my mind flutter across my vision when I focus hard enough, but it's pretty tough to stay completely focused and relaxed enough to lose yourself.
Gracias, too. Means a lot.

But I'm too fat to run!
Nah, but seriously, I typically don't run, especially after the time not too long ago when I ended up with stitches in my leg, via glass. I wouldn't mind so much if it wasn't on my calf, but when it builds lactic acid, unlike my other muscles, it feels more strained and not right. So, running's off the table for me.

Go to your web browser and search "mindfulness" with meditation.
Mindfulness is the latest catchphrase in society, which is actually what those who practice meditation have been doing all along.
As for supplements, I take GABA (wiki it).
It is produced naturally in the brain.
It's job is to slow the brain down when it gets overstimulated or overexcited.
Dosages are from 100mg to 1300mg.
It works like anti-caffeine and really clears my mind - I can think clearer when my mind has gotten out of its anxiety rut.
