Tell Me What it’s Like To Not Have Anxiety

[@francohealy3705]

Same here. They say, "if you're anxious you're too much in the future. If you're depressed you're too much in the past." That being said, I'm juggling advancing my career vs stagnating my small business to save for my first house. I'm justifiably stressed, just not better off for it efficiency-wise.

Look into breathwork like the Wim Hoff method and/or yoga. Most of us are shallow breathers. We need to breathe more at a slower pace and through the stomach. It will calm down your nervous sytem. Try practicing before you go to bed. It will help you sleep better at night and if you keep a regular practice, your anxiety will greatly reduce. I used to have bad anxiety and after practicing yoga for the first few years, my anxiety was pretty much gone.

You have a great mental capacity with the consequent activity, also great. Anxiety is a sign of this, and each with his capacity, some a bucket and others with a timble. It becomes problematic when it incapacitates you to cross a street with a green light without worry. Your partner will help you get throug it, you're good enough, both of you together.

[@custa73burner]

I approach each situation with no pre-conceived ideas, no agenda, and no plan other than knowing what I need to do. I long since stopped caring what most people (strangers) think. I usually dress for comfort not style, and I create time for myself every day. You mentioned the word "normal". I don't believe it exists as a concept. We are all a very complex mix of many things, some easy to change, some very difficult to change. I'm not sure if any of this can help in any way, but it might, so here it is. I hope you find some contentment and figure out how to stop creating things to deal with.

[@Meester_Smeeth]

1. You're not ugly quite the opposite. 2. When most people are obnoxious and self-centered, being weird is a good thing. 3. Normal is subjective.

[@marsgrey8964]

To be happy, you need to be shameless and realize that whatever happens to you, it will happen, and you will get through it like always. It’s easier said than done, but it’s true. Do you want to know why most people don’t have anxiety? Because they are shameless, often feel a bit of anger, and are completely thoughtless-or focus on what they are doing. The problem for people like us is overthinking. We think too much, and by doing so, we ruin our lives. We are too sensitive and too scared, we need more edge, be more shameless and focus on people around, not on ourselves.

[@paulcoppard445]

For what it is worth most of us are on your side. Please think you are one special person as most of us are in our own way. Bless you , sweetheart, and you find your own ways to relax.

[@gavindaviesmusic]

What is normal, i have never met a normal person. I have lived with GAD for 45 years, never calm, never relaxed every day has been a fight but i think the only way to improve is to take small steps outside your comfort zone. I'm 59 with a wonderful wife and two sons but i had to fight really hard to live with my Anxiety and still do. I never stop thinking and i worry all the time. You seem such a nice person, do you like music? As my music really helps me to battle through.

[@Joe-pb3lx]

there isnt one person who doesnt have anxiety......diet and nutrition and being in shape helps not having it so much

[@davemurray5706]

I suspect your anxiety is greater than mine as going to a store or being in public is not a stress. But you are normal. I can tell you that if you were to be preoccupied in thought by some desire, need, task, . . . Your other frequent stresses would be removed during the process. So it may be a matter of getting your mind off stressful things onto something fun, or working on accepting things as being okay.

[@davemurray5706]

For example . . . Say you have a child who is sick and needs medicine from a pharmacy. I suspect that your fears will be put aside in order to take care of the kid.

[@ghazikutbi3206]

You are: someone who was confined in isolation, and then given complete freedom like other adults, and you are learning again how to be free and responsible for your actions. Of course this assumed person lacks a lot of social etiquette and norms and standards. To me You: a person who is doing fine and you are O.K. in all your things even in your charm and personality. Good luck to you!

[@fogunderahat2517]

Human beings are anxious creatures but some are more capable of finding peace within anxiety and some don't or just struggle.

[@JoelCraike]

I suffer through anxiety alot and I absolutely hate it more than anything

[@emperorwang0861]

Follow up to my other comment: you are objectively good looking. Youre objectively attractive. Anyone who says youre not is not being honest, theyre just trying to hurt your feelings or at worst, manipulate you. People tell literal supermodels that theyre ugly; theyre doing it for that same reason. As a sensitive person, you believe them.

[@frankducky6130]

I think she is beautiful 😍

[@jchborg90277]

She needs to learn that indifference is the prevailing attitude of one stranger toward another.

[@williamtessier5449]

What is Normal??? To everyone it is something different. Be yourself first and worry about the other stuff after. Be true to you!

[@jchborg90277]

I know plenty of rich people without a shred of anxiety.

[@TheSpiritofTrance]

Well i dont have anxiety in my life for many years, my life is very chill, for some could be boring, but i like to live all days in same way...

[@softcoreman802]

because the ride never ends... until it does

[@jerrygump1422]

I have generalized anxiety disorder, but i've found that caffeine puts it into overdrive - quitting caffeine goes a long way, sometimes I wonder if my caffeine intake over the last 2 decades is what caused it... SSRI + no weed, no caffeine, no alcohol gives me a lot of peaceful days/nights

[@ggzii]

31 never really go out, off work, no friends. People tell me to just crack on. Impossible. If I work, Monday, Every other day I panick thinking, well I cant relax on Tuesdays because Wednesday is next and thats almost the weekend, and the weekend I need to be ready monday

[@patuxenthistory6410]

I have no clue . Anxiety since a small baby is all I know.

[@bouncerslabrealnature9143]

Unfortunately, I don't let other people's issues affect me unless they are my own children....in other words, I Still Don't Care. (But, pets are different 💓💓)

[@Skate4ever1972]

Maybe you should try a less populated area. I wish you the best in finding your peace. The city is not for everyone.

[@samplesamplings]

I have anxiety when I think about sky diving or going on a blind date, but overall I'm not worrying about tomorrow or what people think of me because I don't care. People are stuck in there own bubble of reality and non of us will ever understand another person's mental idiosyncrasy's, so why would we ever put any value in what others think of us? I just don't care and maybe that's the key to living a more stress free life, I also view human behavior as a comedy, I'm just not taking it seriously. People say crazy shiiii and that's to be expected and sometimes it's better then a comedy. If you want to see hilarious human behavior watch season 7 of love is blind.

[@Sortofempty]

On a side note, do you think perhaps your waitressing job was a catalyst to your current state of anxiety? When I worked retail, this was a thing for me with lasting effects. In a way helped though too.

[@Sortofempty]

I used to get harassed by my bosses (one who was my cousin) about my anxiety. It was great! I found out later one of them was on anxiety meds. I think the worst anxiety I’ve ever experienced I a “normal” situation was getting a Pap smear. So many women can get it done and not flip out like me. Anyways, a lot if people are on anti anxiety meds and just seem like they are doing well.

[@johnfisher7757]

I relate with so much of what you said 😞

[@CobaltContrast]

Congrats on 21k followers! 🎉

[@bonanzatime]

Have you seen the movie, 'High Anxiety'?. It's Hilarious! .. and a classic. Directed by Mel Brooks.

[@nickreynolds4805]

I'm too relaxed and don't have enough axiety so it takes lots of caffine to feel a natural axiety level. Its hard to live in the millisecond and really get something done so i lift weights really hard to slightly feel somewhat pumped.

[@frankducky6130]

The only time i don’t have anxiety is when i’m drinking wine, otherwise I’m always fearing the worst 😳

[@brahmadevyoga9923]

All people have a level of anxiety in their daily life in actions like going out or driving, cause it is a protective mechanism given by nature to secure life. When the anxiety level is high and constant as you desrcibe your situation it becomes a disorder but you can get rid of it or at least minimize it in good or extreme good levels. Mediation is a huge help. You are a pretty nice looking girl so please dont say you feel you are ugly. And yes some people can find you kind of strange when while you are outside you are overthinking and have a strange expression in your face, but this doesn't mean the think you are mad to them and even if some believe it, they never bother you, so ok. I think you personally try to find your limits in behaviour to see what is wired and what is not. When for expample you make videos and talk while eating a babnana or someting else, which noone does, i guess this is to drow attention and then see in comments the feedback you get. Maybe you had lot of attention from your parents and try to find how it works with unknown people or maybe you had not enough attention and you still experiment with your ways to communicate with others. There can be anxiety because of a shock, or because of genes or whatever but anxiety is something you can reduce as i said before. Guess what. There are lovely people all around even if the majority is or seems to be mean. We live in a world where wars are still going on but also movements for human or animal rights become bigger. And you have a very sweet fiance and us here. Feel loved and dont judge yourself when at times you relaspe in old structures of thinking for hours or a day. While you fight for a better life and make new experiences your brain makes the happy hormon release connections stronger and because of neuroplasticity they will get stabilized in a more better way, says science. Google "science study ncbi anxiety meditation" and you find a lot of scientific studies telling you exactly this. Then google "mindfulness meditation" or "samatha meditation" or simple "meditation" and start trying methods. Try yoga also sweet cutie patootie. 😘🥰 I had panic attacks after my youth and could heal myself without medication within six months but still had rare attacks for two more years and then they left forever. When i am too stressed and afraid that i can have a panic attack i instantly relax myself with meditation even while walking and i never had a panic attack again. To meditate does not mean you must be religious or spiritual. Lots of love princess. 😍👍🙏

[@JohnnyRockets2099]

Just for the sake of experimentation, it might be interesting for your boyfriend to try to take you to a rock concert. Literally on the floor, though, not in the seats. Just to see how you take it all in. Something like BABYMETAL. That's the best concert to take a girlfriend. It's probably literally the only band that would be able to relax you.

[@daviebluebird1254]

It's chill. You should try it

[@daviebluebird1254]

p.s. Life IS suffering. There's no escape. But it's possible to relax into it, like an animal

[@DavidHansell-t4o]

I Exist you are a complex piece of work. Trust me way above average looking woman. You made me laugh when you said when you step out of your house you feel everyone is looking at you. Maybe the people that you think are looking at you through their windows or at the store are thinking “She is really pretty wish I looked like her.” Or “She is hot I wish I had enough guts to talk to her.” You just have to get the attitude I don’t care what people think.

[@GopnikDreams]

Have you considered recreational drugs?

[@NathanKefyalew]

Please try to control your anxiety, every person has its level of anxiety, no one is free😮

[@Genesis--me8ud]

Do you miss your pet ? They help with anxiety 😮….

[@emperorwang0861]

It's pretty obvious from an outside observer that your strict parental upbringing combined with strict religious upbringing has ingrained this anxiety into you. You do need therapy, and should consider medication. I grew up strictly religious (and i became a neurotic, nervous, guilt-ridden adult). avoidant of everything. I got better and you can too but you gotta get medical intervention.

[@GilMyers-s9o]

I'm so unhappy

[@cjd6734]

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

[@RobertMesa-fu9oy]

What is anxiety

[@Joe-pb3lx]

nobody is relaxed......why do you think people take drugs and smoke dope.......you need to talk to a professional on your outlook of life and get real answers

[@davidestrada8489]

Maybe you should try some marijuana or edibles that will help out

[@trollol_]

Tell me what it's like to not take responsiblity for your life and to come up wiht excuse after excuse for why you don't do what you want.

[@john.ford_]

this broke me
