If you wanna over analyze it some more…

It also displays a sense of humor/levity in sticky situations, some flirty playfulness, and a dash of humbleness to not presume the crush is reciprocal.

10/10 response honestly, the original question was pretty direct.

Thanks I’m actually on metropol! (sp?) Similar drug for similar effects I think

Hey guys this probably isn’t the right place, but I’m new to mental health issues. About two weeks ago I started having crippling anxiety attacks, mostly at or right after work. I do intl logistics for my company so I’ve had a pulse on all this bullshit from the getgo.

At the same time I started having blood pressure issues, and the combination has a vicious feedback loop of anxiety > elevated heart issues > anxiety etc.

My doctor gave me 30 Xanax (and a plethora of heart meds), I’ve looked up self help type stuff to help with the anxiety… Mindfulness, breathing exercises, etc. Daily walks and exercise help the most but I feel so out of control of my emotions I don’t really know what to do anymore.

Should I talk to my GP and get on something long term? Therapist? Keep trying self help?

I’m 38 and otherwise healthy, no depression, slightly overweight but physically active and eating healthy. I stopped all my vices (nicotine, alcohol, most weed I still take edibles CBD) and I don’t know how to cope without being self destructive.

If anyone else is going through this and getting traction just let me know your experience I guess. I don’t know anyone irl as affected as me so I mainly just want validation I’m not alone and there’s a path forward.

I think this would only bother the most insecure folks, I’m all for it.

Probably instinct from having to survive elementary school.

Muzak :)

It might be nothing but see a doctor. I’m young and healthy but turns out my heart genetics suck and I had dangerously high blood pressure.

A take two little pills a day and watch my sodium and no more heart pains are no longer an issue :)

That’s a bit hyperbolic. You can complete a task, a project, a goal. Maybe your task is to do this weeks laundry. Maybe your goal is to build a habit around finishing your laundry. Or your project is to assess your wardrobe and donate your old clothes.

All completable things that should give your brain dopamine and make you feel good about yourself, it’s natural and okay to find joy from those things!

I have to buy the little gas station packs because I will eat a whole fucking box of Oreos if they’re around.

Double stuff golden 😁

Is communism the answer

Take a break, or try different activities when you get down with the ganja. If your norm is to get blasted and watch YouTube or play video games, try some light exercise like an outdoor walk or visiting downtown shops if you have them. Try a new restaurant or go to the cinema. If it’s nice out rent a bike or explore a city park or nature trail.

When I’m stuck in a rut sometimes it helps to just try something new. It’s hard to get myself out of the house but I always enjoy myself when I do. Sometimes I wake up before my fiance on the weekends and walk the dog to downtown or there’s a coffee shop + dispensary wla shirt walk away.
