No way to live

Agreed

yeah it sucked

Fuck ALL benzos

Never again

but it did work very quickly

Yeahs going to take time your doing great bro...it is scary tho. Remember it’s literally all in your head

Your mind just likes to play games

Yeah I try to remind myself of that so I don’t think I’m dying

It sucks, cos I used to be super hard charger, went around the world with the navy, etc. It wasn't until two years after I separated that I had my first panic attack, or any conscious anxiety at all.

I refer to it as my nervous breakdown

I was 28

Being around fellow comrades probably masked that symptom

Just got super dizzy and anxious fuck

My heart is going crazy

Breath

In thru your nose

Slow release thru your lungs

And out of your mouth

I do shallow breathe when I’m concentrating

Yeah @FashyGoy1488 ill get angry with my anxiety and be like

Idk how to stop it

Yeah I feel that @patron Saint of EATIN

I challenge it to kill me

And if I don't die within a few minutes

I do the breathing thing

And tell it to fuck off

Of course it's still there

But it's a decent mental exercise

Meditation helps put you in place. Just feeling. No thinking. Just being

Idk how to meditate

Never been able to

I guess it's always my approach to challenge things to death battles lmao

It’s just an opportunity for my mind to go to war with itself

Nah you can learn how. It takes a lot of time and practice.

Even I eventually learned how to somewhat do it

Idk how to learn correctly

I’m open to it

It helps to have someone close by who can guide you. Maybe sign up for a yoga or some other class? Just one time? You don't have to wear the stretchy pants, just gym clothes.

Try the insight timer app

And you can do it by yourself and learn
