Magnesium biglysinate and NAC.

Tldr?

- Cut out all unnatural sugars and fast foods
- eat small portions of healthy meals.
3x a day max
- no snacking unless it's a piece of fruit.
- give your digestive system as much rest as possible in between meals.
- look up which foods promotes and which foods battle body inflammation then apply it.
- avoid heavy exercising. Avoid heavy cardio. Do it on moderate intensity.

Your overall goal is to stop overstressing your central nervous system and digestive system.

Magnesium biglysinate is magnesium bound to glycine. Both work calming for the nervous system. People use it for sleep and usually also take this variant so it doesn't upset their stomach as other variants are used to poop (citrate for example)

NAC works for many things. addictions, mental disorders, reducing inflammation, protects cells etc. also calms.

long term CBT (not cock and ball torture)

"Anxious" and "anxiety" are what doctors resort to when they can't find anything wrong with you. I don't even think it really exists.

I have a harsh feeling inside my chest most of the time, like if I had fog inside. Call it guilt, call it stress, anxiety, like a small heat, whatever.
>>76720363
Does being fat contribute to it? I feel like being overweight is like 90% of human problems, but dunno at what point it becomes a meme.

>>76720411
Definitely. Your body is filled with toxins and your body just needlessly exhausts itself from carrying all that fat around. And your organs have a harder time just doing their basic functions. Basically overstressing your CNS again which leads to more stress and anxiety. If your body is stressed out, your mind and emotions are gonna be more stressed out. Being overweight is your body clearly showing you that it's sick and something is wrong with it. Overweightness is a sickness that immediately needs to be addressed.

>>76720340
Get off the Internet.
Write down list of tasks for the day and complete them.
Post task list have some meditation time.
Then can have meme time doing whatever.

You're constantly chasing a 'goal' subconsciously but making no progress. This results in anxiety.

>Get off the Internet.
This is the truth, but OP will ignore it.

I'm a programmer plus I like the internet. I could stop browsing some social media sites tho like Twitter.

>>76720411
For me, cutting seed oils and PUFAs aggressively made an enormous difference on anxiety.
You probably got fat in the first place from too many seed oils.

Just take the lobotomy pills

>>76720340
>do you anons have any advice
Yeah, relax
>or something I can take?
Take a chill pill

>>76720411
What causes your anxiety? Is it a permanent thing, or is it sometimes better, sometimes worse?

>>76720576
It seems random. I can go to the gym, get sunlight and do stuff I'm supposed to be doing and feel like crap, and I can go play videogames all day or do nothing and feel fine.
It depends on the day. I think I've noticed that I don't like weather change at all, I think it affects me.

>>76720569
I can go to the gym, or take a bath, or listen to relaxing music and still feel like crap.

Most important ones are
>lifestyle
Enough been said about this here already
>sleep
Can't stress enough how I start to feel extremely anxious / depressed, if I don't get enough sleep for a couple days. Borderline wanted to kill myself, because I see no purpose or point to continue living. Then I get some sleep, and everything is fine again.
>if you're eating many carbs, cut down on the most useless / empty ones, especially gluten
Like rice (dunno about gluten content, but still empty carbs), stuff like spaghetti, pizza, anything with lots of wheat really. When I was a vegan, I didn't realize this, but a lot of my depression, despite good sleep, came from eating too many empty calories. Though I think it was mostly the gluten, not particularly carbs themselves. Most people have some sort of gluten "sensitivity", eat that shit all the time and are surprised they are constantly anxious and depressed. I'm not joking, cut out wheat as much as you can. If you wanna REALLY try to go balls deep on nutrition, try to go keto for a while. Despite sounding like a meme, many people report literally curing depression after making the switch.
>Vitamin D (and omega 3 pills)
I had days where I was feeling anxious, took half a tablespoon of cod liver oil, and suddently everything was awesome again
tl;dr most common causes
>not enough sleep
>gluten
>not getting enough Vitamin D
Extra: Take creatine, that shit helps a lot against anxiety, especially on low sleep

>>76720411
>being overweight
height/weight?

>>76720499
Same guy. I used to work as a software engineer. The continuous scope expansion (beyond development) and context switching is damaging your mind.

If you're gonna continue using screens heavily then at the very least find long form content to consume.

At minimum too try to for a 30 min walk with no phone/music.

Finally I don't suggest this for everyone but have some weed edibles when you're doing said long form content.

I don't want to take weed; the thing is that I sometimes feel like shit when I'm doing things I'm supposed to be doing and sometimes I can be going pizza vidya and be fine. I can't see a pattern.

I can try taking the supplements you say.

>>76720657
That's fair bro. Weed not for everyone.

At the very least consider the other suggestions. You can do it.

>>76720657
>>76720667
Oh sorry. I'm not the supplement guy. I'm the get off the Internet guy

>>76720671
Its ok, I've been doomscrolling a lot lately; I've been applying for jobs and still I don't get any so I don't really have anything else to do and I feel like I get disconnected of what's going on in the world otherwise. But yeah

>avoid heavy exercising. Avoid heavy cardio. Do it on moderate intensity.

The exact opposite of what this retard is suggesting. You need to calm your nervous system down. Right now you have an excess of energy and the best thing to fix it is to do extended bouts of cardio every day.
Source: me, former agoraphobic who completely cured their anxiety with cardio

CUT OUT CAFFEINE YOU STUPID NIGGER

99% OF THE TIME ITS JUST SOMEONE WHO CANT HANDLE CAFFEINE

DONT BE A PANICAN

>>76720340
>do you anons have any advice or something I can take?
wear all white everything
like almost luminescent, the sun hits you and you almost look like you are glowing
this will FORCE you to gain confidence OR you will commit suicide.

>>76720499
>I like the internet.
ok but everything in your life is things you like and yet you have crippling anxiety
so if doing things you like doesnt fix you then maybe those things are actually hurting you and you should do the opposite

>>76720340
stop smoking weed first off

>control f "psychiatrist"
>0 results

kek

>>76721268
same here, cardio is second only to sleep for me when it comes to dealing with anxiety

making sure I either force myself to be productive or just let myself be bored/upset when that isn't possible, instead of fucking around on the internet or snacking or something is big too

>>76722492
>Am sad
>Take SSRI's
>That'll be 1200 dollars and 50 dollars co-pay every month for the rest of your life

lol

>>76720340
Get a productive hobby/goal, one that makes you feel proud for having done it
Learn a language, draw or edit something, learn a new skill etc

Its a strange feeling on my chest, I don't know how to describe it, maybe it's stress. Its like a cloud or a fog being strangled or crystalized, it isn't hurting or muscular pain but it is like strangling air? It doesn't cover my whole chest, more like the breastbone and around it, not covering all of the pectorals.

Passiflora incarnata extract, CBD, l-theanine

welcome to autism and adhd club

>>76724210
I always thought it was a meme but I really feel like this.

>>76720340
Rhodiola and panax ginseng

sunbathing+carnivore diet

Hmm you didn't describe much in details but I think there are three roads you can and should follow:

1. The foundation
Several people have said this already. Exercise, diet, sleep and human connection. These are all proven to reduce anexity. Try to get all right for a while and you will 100% start noticing a difference.

2. Action is an antidote
If there is something SPECIFICALLY you can point to as a root cause of your anexity, the best antidote is taking action. Worried about money? Start doing a budget. Feel bad about doing nothing all day? Start doing a little. It's painfully true when they say the thing we're most afraid of, are the things we should be facing.

3. A matter of perspective
Probably the hardest of them all to master, but nonetheless an important tool. You can't control how the world is going to treat you, if you're gonna get run over tomorrow, if you dog gets cancer, if jeremy who happens to be the third cousin of your boss' ex-wife gets the promotion instead of you. Learning how to control your own perspective of things, and literally be your own PR-manager in your mind and the stories you tell yourself. Don't become a narssistic asshole from it though, but man, at least tell yourself some good stuff in your own head. Worrying about dying is not going to reduce the chance of you actually dying, and isn't a life lived not worrying better than one worrying?


I had DEBILITATING anexity that turned into direct panic attacks due to work related stress. Now I don't know if stress induced panic attacks and anexity are in the same ballpark, but I've sat panting infront of a doctor thinking I legitmately was going to die as she took my vitals and said it was just a panic attack. Doesn't matter how fast you can run or how much you can lift, your mind will absolutely destroy you if it's out of order.

>>76720636
>The continuous scope expansion (beyond development) and context switching is damaging your mind.
100% this.

Obviously it's not the only thing, but it's definitely more brutal then most people realize.

I had severe anxiety for maybe 2 straight years. with multiple panic attacks a week. It can get better.
It's your bodies way of telling you something needs to change in your life. no amount of pills, sleep, whatever is going to make it better if you don't find the actual source of what is making you anxious.

Maybe you're fat and you hate yourself for that, then you HAVE to hit the gym. even if you feel like you're dying when you're going. you have to power through. you won't die and you'll actually feel better afterwards.

Maybe you hate your job. quit it. seriously, if it's making you feel miserable, don't stay there. no amount of money is worth feeling anxious.

Really, just find the thing and fix it. If you've been anxious for a long time, it won't magically fix it. but at least once that's done you can start focusing on getting better.

The last thing I'll say is what really worked for me was to accept the anxiety. accept that it's temporary and that whatever way you're feeling right now will get better. I can get very intense shortness of breath, to the point I feel like I'll pass out. But the thing is that no matter how bad my shortness of breath is, it always ends up being fine. So really telling yourself "I'm fine, this is just my anxiety, everything will be ok." can really help you feel better faster.
