Jorge lopez did you meditate ? Change your diet, how often did you start exercising ? Serious questions ^^ I want to reduce my anxiety too

laxman khatri I did meditate for around 2-3 months. 15 minutes of just sitting in silence. It helped to an extent, but I eventually stopped. Diet wise, I eat fairly healthy in general so I didn't change much. Exercising wise , I grapple 5 times a week and like I said, I feel fantastic after I come out of the gym. I sugguest joining a boxing/bjj/mma gym. You get more fit, more confident, and meet great people. Another big solution is understanding how your thoughts work. I sugguest checking out videos from Noah elkrief. That gave me a bases of understanding how thoughts work. Check out Firas zahabi mental toughness video as well. And turn to God. I attribute that being the biggest reason why my anxiety has started to go away. Relying only on my own strengths to get rid of anxiety has failed me many times. When you understand everything is in Gods hands you realize there is not much to worry about. The Bible has many verses on anxiety / worry. Feel free to ask any more questions. Anxiety was completely killing my life , but years later (I'm 21 now) I have seen it start to dissipate, id love to help other people get past their anxiety as well

@@AT-db9gu I just started having panic attacks to the point where I couldn't be alone. That's just the tip of the iceberg. Anxiety been fucking up my life since I was young but now my health is in question and I don't know why. I guess it overflowed one day. I don't want to rely on medicine and then therapy doesn't help. But I've no anxiety when I go into a gym and spar with blood and guts in mind but when I'm alone I feel like I'm going to die. I know that death day is coming and I think God Allah the creator or whatever can really put that into a good perspective. Yet I can't believe I let it get this bad. Should I ignore it and distract myself with all my strength? Train? Or somehow deal with it face to face? I don't want it to destroy my life. I want to be like a child again and I can only do that in the ring. Or should I stop thinking? It's there no going back? My therapist loves talking and I love listening so I'll give an opinion respect.

Phillip Duane you should do a combination of things. As cliche as it sounds, mind body and spirit all play a role. For the mind, try to find a root cause for your anxiety. Maybe something is stored in your sub concious that gives you anxiety when you are alone. Maybe something traumatizing when you were a kid ? If that's the case, then you must think logically and realize that you are in a completely different situation now. Ask yourself logical questions, question the anxiety until you begin to realize there is truly nothing to be anxious about. An example from my life, i had an operation (septoplasty) go wrong. So everytime I went to the doctors office even for a regular check up, I would begin to sweat like crazy, high blood pressure and everything. Why ? Because I hadn't really processed the trauma of my past. Once I internalized it and question my situation (I'm there for a check up, not an operation or surgery so I have no reason to be nervous) the anxiety lowered tremendously. Now I'm not 100% comfortable at the doctors , but I'm wayy calmer lol. Next is body. For that, you should train. The benefits of training are widely known and studies show it can have the same positive effects as medicine, without the side effects/withdrawal symptoms. And when you train don't look for "blood and guts" , do it because you want to feel the good feeling afterwards. You want to get rid of your anxiety. Treat everyone with respect and be an honest person. Third is spirit. Like I said in my original post, turning to God ultimately changed my life. I no longer have to rely on my own strengths. We as humans, are many times faced with challenges that we cannot overcome by ourselves. We must rely on God. God tells us to cast all our anxieties on him, because he cares for us. Real Psalm 27 as well. And always remember this. Everything that happens , even if it's something considered "bad", happens so that we can grow as people and help shape our character. The Bible says that we should rejoice when we are faced with challenges because from challenges come a stronger faith, perseverance, etc. You should not fear anything, because God will not give you anything more than you can handle, IF you rely on him. God bless bro, hope my advice can help you out.

A.T I just wanted to add beta-endorphins are also released during intense physical activity and thus contribute to your sense of well being. Also, if self-talk about illogical thoughts do not work, a very simple method to help decrease the anxiety is belly breathing. At inhale your abdomen should distend. If done correctly, the distension causes stimulation of the diaphragme which in turn sends a signal to the brain to stop the productions of stress hormones that are being released because of the thoughts. It is the same stress response as you would have to a physical threat. In fact, studies have shown that psychological stressors trigger larger stress responses than do physical stressors. Great comment and contribution A.I.

Wow it surprised me how good those are. Thanks for aharing bro!

Ashwin Nair im in the same boat right now but i am in undergrad computer engineering. People are so much smarter than me and i just cant handle the workload. I cant manage time since it takes me a lot longer to understand the material. Idk what to do

If you've had the talent and drive to even get to a Masters program in Chemical Engineering, you can make it all the way, don't give up.
