I am getting desperate. I am 26 and have wasted away the first half of my 20s. I thought I would simply figure out how to stop being a pussy that's scared of everyone and everything, but it didn't work. And now I am desperate. Are there medications that can fix me?
The only medications that will actually give you results are controlled substances. The only other options are nootropics. You can get phenibut on clearnet and it feels almost identical to lyrica. I got through a lot of tough times with that one.
>>84951683Yes, they helped me stop being a neet but they also fucked my dick up
>>84951683Hi Anon. I have severe GAD and it has pretty much ruined my life since I turned 18. I can't work a job without throwing up and passing out frequently, very suicidal during that time, spiraling bullshit felt like actual hell, I've seen what eternal torture looks like.I'm lucky it hasn't stuck around that extreme forever but I still struggle regularly.In my experience, ssris haven't done a single thing, they've only given side effects. I have been trying cbt with a therapist for awhile. as well. Results are still low. Gabapentin isn't an ssri and wont lobotomize you like ssris do. I'm trying that right now and I don't see any side effects so far I hope. Still, not really doing anything so I might need a bigger dose.
Didn't work on me and I dropped it after a few months since my anxiety and depression is from being an unloved outcast and zogs zombie pills can't fix my life being shit
>>84951683What is the root of your anxiety? As in did you have an overbearing or emotionally unstable parent? If so there is a good chance both your genetics and upbringing are part of the root. This often causes patterns of hypervigilance that will have your nervous system on edge at almost all times. There is potentially a fear that all people are like that and you are trying to subconsciously avoid outbursts in people. It's a strange kind of empathy. I don't know about ssris, I've always avoided them based on what people around me have described. To me it doesn't sound like it relieves but simply numbs the electrochemical pathways of the brain/nervous system which has all sorts of other consequences.When I was about your age I fell into a similar state of "something has to change". I ended up sort of forcing exposure therapy on myself and going to bars. I don't necessarily recommend this because I've developed a bit of alcoholism over it(crutch to overcome anxiety; but I assure you if you don't pay the toll now, you will later). But that exposure made me interact with people and caused me to come to my senses to some degree. I realized my deeply rooted assumptions about people are flawed. A higher awareness. Even touching deeper observation of yourself can cause a sort of positive disintegration(look up the term), where you pop out of a pattern of anxiety and can identify it in the future. This gives you a tool to assure yourself logically that you are being illogical. It doesn't quite fix it, but gives you something a bit more easy to identify/ work with. This video I think gives a good model:https://youtu.be/JIq5zN7rNlI?is=tXsP35mj8QoMp81X
>>84951718Isn't phenibut pretty addictive? I guess being addicted is better than staying in my room for the rest of my life though. How much do you take? Is there a certain brand I should get?>>84951766Which one did/do you take?>>84951792I will look into Gabapentin>>84951876I'm worried this will be true for me as well.>>84951897My parents were not unstable or anything like that. I've always tended towards depressed/anxious but covid lockdown is when I became almost agoraphobic. I guess too much time online and seeing people snitch on each other all the time made me start thinking everyone was out to get me.Your solution is probably the best. Go to bars, get drunk, and try to remember people aren't out to destroy me lol
>>84951683Fuck no unless by fix you mean turn you into a retarded mind numbed slave to the system. start smoking weed and eat 5 grams of shrooms alone in the dark, or are you a pussy?
