Well, my “manic”(happy) mood was short lived, now i am anxious. I need someone to give me tips on,For lack of a better word, how to not give a ****I just have to emphasize how serious I am. I just can’t convince myself to realize that I am overreacting and I am irrational.
{let me quickly summarize this for those who don’t want to read all my complaints:Â I want to be able maybe speak my mind, and not feel embarressed about it, tell me how to not care so much}
I AM JUST SO PARANOID>
No matter how hard I try I get paranoid and think that I have to care what people think. I need real tips, even if it means lying to myself, if it works then I am all for it. I am just far to sensitive, and inhibited, a coward, pathetic, that caring less will not hurt me and I will benefit. PLEASE show me the ropes. ANYTHING, just tell me how you guys do it? I can’t get through one day without feeling guilty for no particular reason, thinking that the world is watching. I need serious brainwashing techniques. PLEASE DON”T TELL ME to use CTB , i am using it but i need more help. I just nee to know I am not crazy. I feel so overwhelmed, and I am far to sensitive. Does alcohol really help with this? DOn’t I don’t think ill ever be an alcoholic as I can’t stand the taste of alcohol but ill suck it up if it helps me with my inhibitions.
I am just desperate , i wish i could be sedated. I need to calm down, but my body won’t let me..Theses racing thoughts, yes I am seeing a psychologist, yes i am taking antidepressants, and yet here I am , hurting inside. I am all to easily affected by peoples negative energy , which makes me feel at fault. I take things way to personally. PLEASE HOW CAN I RELAX> BESIDES BREATHING> I NEED HAPPY THOUGHTS>
I don’t mean to sound intimidating, just please tell me how to care less, and not take life seriously, it won’t turn me into a bad person because how messed up I am , it will just maybe neutralize at best…This anxiety is just making me physically sick, i want it to end. It makes me feel like such a bad person.
anything helps.
Examples of “tips”
saying things like ” Don’t take life so seriously, you are just one individual, out of the whole universe ” .
Or “Nothing is ever bad at it seems” , Or tell m e things that i have to live for. things like that actually help me alot.
Just can you put things into a different perspective?
I wish i could be by myself, people make me so uncomfortable.
GOd i feel so bad all the time. FUDGE I am so differnt. God i hate people sometimes .
Oh god save me. I want to kill people sometimes, literally, I can actually understand why someone would want to kill someone.
Just please give me some conforting thoughts, stories, etc…
How can I not have guilt? ( Dont worry I am not going to hurt anyone)
I NEED TO ESCAPE THIS ANXIOUS FEELing, i am miserable.
THankyou so much.

I had to tell myself that the things that I was thinking wasn’t true and not real. I talked to myself all the time so much that I thought that I was insane. You have to tell yourself the complete opposite of what you’re thinking and have evidence to back up. Keep repeating it to yourself over and over again, until you convence yourself that your paranoia is wrong. That’s what I did. It took about 8-10 months for me to do it, but it worked for me, and still does. Remind yourself that it’s your paranoia. Good luck and if you need any more advice, I’m here. (:
-Anxiety is anticipation…try to just be.
-Know the anxiety will pass just like happiness did. I’m guessing happinesss is not a constant state of being for any conscious mortal.
-Watch the movie: Living Out Loud
-listen to Shawn Colvin or Barkley (don’t know how to spell his name) sing the song: crazy
-listen to Bob Dylan’s song: Shelter from the Storm…it seems to me to be about art being shelter from the storms that one feels lost in when one is sensitive.
-exercise till you sweat like crazy and drink 2 liters of water throughout the day.
-scream.
-soak in a bathtub.
-then lay in bed for one day (and one day only) – read something nurturing & wise & funny
laugh.
-eat raw foods with b vitamins.
– breath through your nose and do square breathing…meaning:
– inhale to the count of four;
– hold inhale to the count of four;
– then exhale to the count of four;
– hold exhale to the count of four
– do it all again.
– keep two journals: a half empty and also a half full journal.
The half empty is all about what you want what is lacking and what pisses you off.
The half full journal being about what you are satisfied with even for a moment or just the best 3 things that you experienced in the day even if they were less than ideal and anything you are grateful for or enjoy no matter how small.
– Then get out in the world and look people in the eye and try hard.
let us know how you are fairing.
