I would describe myself as a relatively calm person. I have great impulse control, I don't get into pointless fights or arguments, and I've stayed calm in extreme situations, like my mother getting hurt in an accident.But as soon as we get to things caused by my own incompetence, my body seems to belong to another person. >Learning to drive with a manual car?Hands and feet shaking, car stops in the middle of traffic and I can't get it back on>Exam incoming?Blackout, stomach and bladder feel horrible>Said something stupid in a conversation? Headache>Weight seems heavy and I'm being watched?I'm failing that lift 100%This is especially annoying considering I'm usually very laid back and somewhat lazy, so missing dates or whatever is pretty common for me, it's just annoying that I get all of these physical symptoms as a consequence. Any advice?
Laziness and being ashamed of yourself is a common combo. It's okay to be laid back but be careful not to be too lazy and put in some effort in long term goals.Also, stop looking at it as laziness and just reframe it as ADHD, it sounds like a stupid cope at first, but then you start applying all those ADHD "strategies" which are essentially the traits of an organized person. Start using an actual calendar and writing a journal and you will find you are less lazy than you think.
One more thing because I realized that you're lowkenuinely just going to keep relying on your memoryA little more than two years ago I fumbled an incredible once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, because I forgot about one date.It was something I was highly qualified for, and something I had put months of preparation into. I had also been using my network to improve my chances. By the end of the application process I was sure I would get it, and I really wanted it.And then it all came to nothing after I plainly forgot to show up for one important date.Trust me, if you do not start painstakingly organizing a big fat calendar on your wall today. And you keep missing dates. One day you will learn it the hard way.

>>34467610It's alright. Every little counts. Going to the gym taught me that progress takes. so. fucking. long.Sorry for giving you that mommy's lecture. Idk how often my mother told me to be organized, in the end I only started doing it when the missing dates thing started getting on my nerves
Okay, anon, I'm too lazy to type, but I'll help you.Propranolol is a medication sold without a prescription; anyone can buy it. It's a beta-blocker, used to lower blood pressure, prevent headaches, prevent tremors, and reduce anxiety.I've used 5 different benzodiazepines, and I say that propranolol is just as good as them for reducing anxiety, but it obviously won't sedate you like benzos do, which can even be good in some cases.Don't be afraid that your blood pressure will drop; the minimum dose to lower blood pressure is 160mg. If you use any dose lower than 160mg, your blood pressure will not change. I use 80mg every day before going to work; the minimum dose for anxiety is 80mg. If you use any dose lower than 80mg, there will be no effect on anxiety.If you have asthma, don't use this medication.
>>34469445If we're already gonna recommend anxiety medication I can recommend theanine. No side effects for me
>>34474125Not OP but thanks for recommending this. Definitely going to give it a try.
>>34469445>Propranolol is a medication sold without a prescriptionMaybe in your shit hole country.
>>34476722Just a heads up, I do get indigestion if I take it at the same time with food. Maybe my individual reaction
