I’ve lately had some issues where I cranked my nervous system too hard with an intense 2.5hr workout then tried to go to bed after

Not only can I not sleep, I can’t even stay in the same position for more than a few minutes, and I feel like I want to crawl out of my own skin. My body is basically telling my brain “no, why are you laying down? We are fighting for our lives running from tigers or something, you need to worry and move”. I stay stuck in this like flight or fight mental state

I’m not into self-harm so what I try to alleviate it somewhat is just flex various body parts and do a mental body scan after to try to relax. For yourself, a light workout might be ideal, not for me though, the workout is what caused it

For anyone else that wants to experience anxiety or thinks anxiety isn’t real, I know of a way from wayyy back in the day. You can either do a shitload of coke and then will be anxious on the comedown. Or if you want a legal way, all health food stores like GNC sell a supplement called Yohimbe. If you take about 3-5 pills of that, you will have anxiety through the roof, and probably heart tachycardia as well. Why that shit is still legal I have no idea, it’s been linked to heart attacks in the past. Anyone that tries to tell me anxiety isn’t real, I tell them to try the Yohimbe overdose challenge lol

I used to have a massive panic disorder during college, when I also smoked a metric ton of weed every day. I've had more weed-induced panic attacks than I can count.

In my case I just kind of naturally outgrew the problem. I didn't want to try medication because I knew too many people who hated how hard it is to get off SSRIs and benzos. A few people recommended cognitive behavioral therapy, which I've heard good things about, but I didn't have the money.

It just kind of naturally went away. After you've had enough episodes of feeling like you're about to die or that if you leave the house you'll die, and it never happens, you start to realize it's probably never going to happen and those panicky feelings of impending doom naturally go away.

I basically subjected myself to exposure therapy without knowing it, heh. It's been years now since I've had a panic attack, and I can smoke weed again just fine! So just saying there's always hope.

Real talk. Thx guys. I hope this helps the OP.

Not trying to hijack ur thread.

I cannot believe this, not cause I think you lie just cause you Yankies do not understand the metric system.
So, 1 metric tonne is 1000kg which equals 1.102311 ton or 2204.623 pounds.

You sir, are a Po Thead.

On the topic of not taking meds, currently not taking Zoloft. Stopped cold turkey. Couple days of head spinning light headedness.
Being on it made me feel mentally weaker, but more able to drown out feelings of depression. Sort of felt like i was settling for inferior me.
But off it im feeling much sharper in the mind. I'll take that deal.
They did their job initially though.

I think we now can excuse all malign behavior as mental illness and never have to think about it any further.

Or like how tempting it is to, rather than face up to an individual inter-personality problem, to base negative behaviors from others as due to racism or some other -ism

Transporting psychotic completely legit (no drug use) manic veteran woman to VA Hospital today, and she’s actively hallucinating the entire way, also euphoric, high energy, and won’t shut up for 1 single second the entire 30 min drive there

Not sure what the voices are saying, but she is singing religious songs over them, then yelling back at them, screaming back. Then laughing hysterically, totally labile affect. I’m like “are you ok? I know you have a lot going on right now, but can you not be so loud? I have sensitive ears”

She completely ignores multiple requests. So I can either pull over and call the fire department, or improvise. So I pop in my Powerbeats pro $200 headphones and put on some loud music

But before then, amidst all the non-sensical religious babbling she at one point yells:

“I hope Putin wins the war, so he can put an end to homosexuality!!
I am a rootin’…for the Putin!!”

Ah sometimes hard to keep a poker face [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

When I get in the ER and help her get checked in, after she goes and sits down I lean in and say to the check in nurse “hey FYI, she’s very psych symptomatic and has been yelling and singing at the top of her lungs the entire ride here. Chances are she is going to start up with that very soon in your crowded lobby” with a wink

Nurse winks back and says “gotcha, ok, we’ll handle it”

This lady gonna skip the line lol
