hahaha I like this advice but I'm not ready for this level. I have the "I don't give a fuck" attitude about EVERYTHING accept anything having to do with anxiety...which is a lot.

To the person talking about ordering pizza, yeah I don't do that because of my anxiety. If I'm smoking pot too, forget it. Won't happen. Many times I've went hungry while high just because my anxiety overwhelms me to the point of not wanting to get food from anywhere, and laziness prevents me from cooking anything.

Excercise, sleep, and diet seem like the best options here. I'd prefre to get over my life-long anxiety without drugs. I've downloaded the "attacking anxiety" self help crap. Haven't listened to it yet, and not too much faith in it, but I guess it couldn't hurt...

Maybe that's a good place to start then. Order a pizza, pay the dude, give him a tip, say thanks. That's it. You can't win by avoiding things that are uncomfortable. You have to do them anyway, waivering voice and all, and they become easy surprisingly quickly. Your confidence will snowball.

Don't use opiates, thats what I used for severe social anxiety and it WILL fuck you over. It will work WONDERS for a while, then you have a much bigger problem down the road that you don't want. Try having anxiety problems and then being in severe withdrawl. Fuck all that. I am currently detoxing off of the methadone program and hope to just 'deal' with my social anxiety on my own. (I think it is causing my depression as well). I have seen a doc that precribed me lexapro but I never have taken it. I just don't want to HAVE to take a drug everyday for the rest of my life to make me feel normal. I am trying just to talk to other people/ go to uncomfortable places, just forcing myself into situations...well that is the plan anyways. As far as food/diet, I really don't think this will solve much...maybe it can help with 'regular' people's anxeity/stress, but I find that most people don't understand REAL anxiety problems. You try to talk to them and they just says things like "everyone gets nervous once in a while, do this do that...and you are just nodding your head but thinking you have NO idea what I really feel like do you. But I do see how cutting caffiene could help.

Funny, because for me, getting high would enable me to order the pizza. Pot amplifys my desires, so I'd be craving the pizza so much, I wouldn't give a fuck about interacting with a stranger. Pot makes me adventurous :grin: One time it gave me the courage to slip a cute girl I saw at the library my phone number. A couple days later I found out she was 12 years old, though*.

*and I don't give a fuck :smirk:

What is it that makes you anxious? For awhile I was anxious because I thought the world was going to shit. Then I watched some of these http://www.lifehack.org/articles/miscellaneous/the-ten-videos-to-change-how-you-view-the-world.html And I felt much better because I saw that the world was getting better in alot of ways. So maybe figure out what makes you anxious and then find some proof that what you believe isnt neccesarily true.

Pot USED TO make me more adventurous and relaxed. Now it just intensifies my anxiety, regardless if it's one-hitter-quitter stuff or smoke a bowl to get high stuff.

What makes me anxious? Everything: walking, talking, eating, uhhh everything. Everything I think about builds my anxiety.

anything deeper? maybe feeling inadequate or some life situation that triggered it. theres a ton of things that can cause anxiety. the real reason for the anxiety may cause all those things to be stressful. but maybe its something chemical.

Hm, well I question every action I make and whether or not I'm doing it "right" or am making a fool of myself. Prevents me from doing a lot of things just because I don't want to make myself look like an idiot, or perform poorly.

A natural way to help manage anxiety is to take that anxiety, fear, nervousness, and replace it with something else. Replace it with humor or something. Anger works very well for me.

"If we could sniff or swallow something that would, for five or six hours each day, abolish our solitude as individuals, atone us with our fellows in a glowing exaltation of affection and make life in all its aspects seem not only worth living, but divinely beautiful and significant, and if this heavenly, world-transfiguring drug were of such a kind that we could wake up next morning with a clear head and an undamaged constitution - then, it seems to me, all our problems (and not merely the one small problem of discovering a novel pleasure) would be wholly solved and earth would become paradise." - Aldous Huxley

I'm surprised more people haven't mentioned Kava and 5-htp.

I've had huge successes with both of these, and together the effect is astounding. I feel on top of the world, above all my cares, with a happy feeling I can feel in my gut.

God I love kava!
