Just curious as if anyone else has anxiety problems. when i was younger i used to have panic attacks on a regular basis and they went away for a while. in the past coupld months i have been extremly stressted. i graduate school in 8 weeks and am moving to a new town and basically starting on my own. been living by myself for 1 year but its just because of school now i have to worry about living on my own. anyways, i have been feeling very tired/burned out. i also have been feeling like i am almost stoned all day long. I dont do any drugs however i feel as if im partially asleep and not 100 percent awake all the time.The more i think about it the worse it gets. If i dont think about it i dont really notice it. anyone else have weird problems with anxiety?

Find things to distract yourself. You can't be anxious if your thinking about something that doesn't make you anxious. Otherwise I'd suggest getting some meds to even you out. From what I understand, they do wonders.

I tend to over-analyze and over-worry about things in my life and dwell on them. Especially when i'm in trouble with the police or a judge or something or tickets. The more stress the worse it is..sometimes I don't even feel like going around people when i'm stressed.

You're an idiot. Seriously, flat out retarded. You are supposed to stress about the things you stress about. It means you aren't a sociopath. The day you stop thinking about how you are a fucked up loser is the day you lost as life. When that day comes, call Hotrex. He'll USPS you some rope.

my problem isnt really low ambition more of just that i feel sort of distant from reality when i think about how i dont want to feel like this. sometimes i will work my self up so much i will feel almost like im blacking out. like i am there but i dont feel like it. hard to explaini guess.

Talk to a professional, what you are experiencing is very common, and there are many options.

I've been on a variety of meds growing up for anxiety/depression problems. They didn't do shit for me except make me tired. My friend was prescribed seroquel which is retarded and basically numbs your feelings. Sure you don't feel upset, but you'll also do harmful shit without realizing the consequences. I was prescribed paxil (SSRI), prozac (MAOI), and xanax (benzo). None did a damn bit of good.

I over-analyze every fucking thing so can feel you on that. It actually has caused me some insomnia problems because I can't sleep due to my brain constantly racing thinking about shit. Pot is no longer enjoyable like it used to be after the "peak" when I'm stoned but able to focus. Once I start analyzing things, stoned, it usually builds my anxiety or makes me depressed. If I smoke anymore, I prefer to smoke with friends that will distract me. Funny thing -- a lot of the shit I want to change about life while I'm stoned seems like a really good, beneficial idea. Once I'm no longer stoned, I think the opposite. It's hard to determine which is best when they both sound "correct," but strangely enough my "high" reasoning is usually what most would consider the best advice. Too bad that at the same time it makes me miserable...

Anyway, the "keep yourself distracted" suggestion was a good one. If I keep enough shit going on, I never have time to analyze and get disappointed or depressed. You can try pot, it may help and it may not. I don't suggest prescriptions. IF they do you any good, they're just masking the problem and not solving it. Unless you truly have some sort of chemical imbalance, it won't do shit to improve your life. I realized during a great trip one day that if I don't like how my life is going, I'm the only one that can change it. Simple concept but took me forever to realize until I jumped in the k-hole and looked at everything at the most basic of levels.

I don't agree. Some people get anxious and it keeps them from functioning. If you don't function, you can't stop being anxious because you have no healthy distractions. If the meds help you function, that allows you be destracted, which allows you to live a healthy existence.

Basically, do whatever you need to, to make your life a pleasant existence as long as you aren't hurting yourself or others in the process.

I think so.. You are way overly stressed.. It takes a MAJOR toll on the body when the mind is not well. When I am not in some kind of project or hobby I am usually going nuts. My girl diagnosed me bi-polar today. Read the definition of it.

I think everyone has periods where they keep thinking about something. Its okay to keep an imporant thing in focus.

However, if you've thought the thing through thoroughly, it doesn't make sense to dwell on it. TELL YOURSELF to stop thinking about it, and go on with life. I tend to create projects, and think them over a million times to get the details right.

For example - I can't afford to get new body panels, lifters, or weld the exhaust on my 67 bird, so I just let it sit. Its been happy being alone for 3 years, and I've been happy flinging my Hondas around corners for 1/10th the price. Sure I'd love to get it going and there's lots to do on it - but it will still be there tomorrow. It won't fix itself by me thinking about it.

Physically do something about the stressor, or move on.

Man I'm going through the same crap. I'll be fine for days or even a week then for a few days it's almost like you are living in a dream. Nothing seems real. The more you think about it the worse it gets. Speaking of been that way the past two days since I had a bad anxiety attack the other day just riding down the road.

It get's annoying because it makes you focus and magnify things. Like I'll have a pain in my left arm or chest and freak the hell out thinking oh shit am I having a heart attack, then I will be all worked up about it that I actually start trying to feel stuff that's not there.

Do you ever have a rush of emotions/feelings and start to panic and/or fear something? Don't want to be alone at that moment?

Not likely. If I'm anxious if makes it worse. Feels like my heart is racing and beating out of my chest which is not a good feeling when you have anxiety already. Key is to get a good buzz, don't get to the point that you forget what your doing 5 seconds later. That is not fun at all while anxious .

I had anxiety problems when I was young, a lot of people do.

You just sound like you're burnt out. That happens to a lot of people in their 3/4th year of college. Trust me... it's going to be OK. You just need some time off (8 weeks out) and being in a new town will be like a vacation.

Where you moving to?

I used to run 10 miles a day (zoned the fuck out and numb as shit) to take my mind off shit. Lost weight and came to some conclusions on how to handle stress and anxiety
