smoke some pot, rub one out, eat, watch some stand-up comedy

I don't know if this was posted or not because I wanted to write you write away.

You might not like this idea, and it takes a while to get used to, but you NEED to start journaling. I'm dead serious, it helps me.

Just open a blank Word document and start typing. Type till you can't think of anything else to type. If it takes 4 hours, so be it.

Do this everyday. Get the random worthless annoying ass thoughts out of your brain and on "paper".

It helps to "clear up" the subconcious.

You have to journal everyday. Set a time to do it everyday; do it multiple times a day if necessary.

Hope this helps.

This. Like alcohol, it tends to get "perscribed" by just about everyone as some kind of miracle cure for any mental/emotional problems, but it can actually make things worse.

have you try swimming? the water around you will make your brain be busy with the wet sensation, your mind get free from thoughts because you concentrate in the movements and breathing. long sessions in slow speed will make you stronger, fit, more confident... it can help a lot. hope you get better.

I am a big supporter of marijuana, but I have to agree here. It is not a good recommendation for people with anxiety.

Before going to the doc to get some piece of mind for my health anxiety, smoking pot would make me feel terrible and my anxiety would go into overdrive.

Now that I have less worries I can smoke again. It's my best unwinding tool since I quit smoking cigarettes (2) years ago.

Drinking is also a bad recommendation in my experience. If someone is getting anxious and it is leading to depression it would only drive them to drink more, which isn't good.

Excellent suggestion!

I remember during the summer last year I would feel no ill effects from my anxiety when I was swimming. Even aches and pains that "existed" due to me concentrating on those areas so much seemed to vanish like magic.

I have a lot of little weird things I do too, like OCD type things, and also little feelings (not like itching, but kind of the same idea), but the better you get at ignoring them the less they bother you.

Yours sounds pretty tough. Thinking about your breathing/blinking must be annoying. I don't know what to suggest.

I suffer from severe anxiety disorder too I'm on Paxil and it has helped a lot I would def make an appointment with a therapist.try to find one that specializes in anxiety disorder. Also you may want to google Claire Weekes she has written excellent books that have helped a lot of people. Another idea google anxiety disorder there are a lot of people feeling just like you and some really good forums out there.

The only thing you can do about your loneliness is to berzerk your way into social situations over and over again until you get good at it. If your social skills are untrained, you will simply have to take the pain of making a fool of yourself now and then, and just view it as practice.

1)meditation 3 times a day for 15minutes to calm
down your thoughts in a room or place where you feel comfortable
2)without expecting a thing(by expecting a thing the meditation effect may vanish or be lowered)
3)avoid tv/pc etc.the less you are exposed to things the calmer you'll get.distraction has to be avoided.

when people are scared or uncertain they start to think a lot because they think they can solve a problem by thinking,they desperately try to control every little thing.-but that does not work as it is thinking that cause fear and unceartinity.the result=they get hyper sensitiv.
than they start to think more and more- completely loosing the feeling about being relaxed and focused.

the problem is to realise that thinking is the problem as it cause more and more confusion and doubts.when people are young they are less confused or have doubts as they don't waste their time with thinking.But it is hard to accept that thinking and the wish to control everything is the reason for the problem .

i would advise you to try it with zen-meditation as zen is the oppositte of thinking too much .(you will find lots of books at amazon)
You may also read "the way things are"(ole nydahl)-this book(it is really good)
can show you a positiv way into meditation
