Weed helped me quit drinking so much. Still get the urge to keep drinking whenever I get a buzz going, but now I have the self control to know I should stop before I reach depressing drunk.

Hey, those of you with anxiety, what do you do when you're having an anxiety attack? Stress from school and some PTSD stuff has been throwing me for a loop this past week and although I have an intake appointment with the VA specifically for this it isn't until April 25th. I'm doing some couple's behavior therapy to help with some stuff, and while good it isn't tailored to me specifically, but myself and my girlfriend. I've taken to finding some quiet space and listening to relaxing music, but that's a short term fix. Just curious if anyone has some suggestions. I'm trying to be proactive and eat healthier, with more fruits and vegetables and fewer processed meats and excess sugars. I do yoga and I try to get 30 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise a few times a week. I'm also trying to get to know my classmates a bit better and develop some real life friendships, but I'm pretty sure that I've got some social anxiety so that's not exactly the easiest thing to do. Also, my dogs and my girlfriend are incredibly supportive of me, which is really loving nice. I'm currently not on any medication, but I do smoke weed. I'm cutting back a bit right now though. I've found that when I'm really exhausted if I get too high I start to succumb to the anxiety and that is an awful feeling. Anyway, I think that's enough rambling for now. Thanks, praise to Allah, and may the Force be with you.

Thalantos posted:Sometimes weed can make me anxious if I really, really blaze up, maybe it's not a bad idea to cut back a little bit? Yeah, the first thing I do when I feel the panic coming on is start to focus on my breathing with a four count inhale, four count hold, four count exhale, and another four count hold. It's dumb, but I think of it as trying to control my breathing like I would while conducting a stress shoot. Then I add in some mindfulness exercises. But sometimes the anxiety just kicks my rear end and that isn't enough.

Yeah, I find it helpful to mentally retrace my steps and properly define what's wrong and what's contributing to the way I feel. I've just been so overwhelmed and emotionally raw lately that it feels harder to keep those systems working for me

boop the snoot posted:Are you getting more overwhelmed because of life, or are your old faithfuls just not as effective anymore? I've had to switch my strategy up several times because whatever I was doing just stopped working. It's a bit of both, combined with finally venting to my girlfriend about some of that poo poo that I've just kept bottled up. Letting it out is helpful, but it leaves me drained and feeling susceptible to the anxiety, I guess is how it feels. Talking through it all with her is helpful, and it's something I'm going to talk to a VSO about because I can see where poo poo is associated to my experiences in the army and it amplifies the anxiety by seemingly a thousand-fold. Like, the panic attack leave me feeling paralyzed and trembling with fear at their worst, so for the time being I'm just trying to first mitigate that, and then I want to work long-term, because I know that this is something that I'll be living with. I'm trying to stay positive through it all and I'm going to hunt the good stuff (not really lol, just thought about that dumb army resiliency)

Also, having this space to share with everyone here who has gone through similar experiences is just so incredibly cathartic and I'm thankful I've got a resource like it and community of other broke brained vets and like-minded people to reach out to when times are tough. I can see how without a good support system in place can lead to the fear bring so overwhelming that suicide starts to feel like an option to deal with it. Not to worry, I'm not having any ideations or thoughts. I think I'm in a good place now, I hope y'all have a blessed day. I'm going to go take a final. I'll check back in afterward.

boop the snoot posted:imposter syndrome is a bitch and i can't wait to graduate and start my job and be around people who are more my age. that's probably been the least enjoyable thing about being in school, even though it's probably been the most relaxing time in my life. For real, even though I'm only 26 (almost 27), I feel absolutely out of place among my classmates, most of whom are six to eight years my younger. poo poo sucks at times, especially when I have teachers telling me they expect me to be a leader because I'm older. Like, gently caress, I'm in this class to learn the poo poo as much as the kids are, I'm not here to lead them in anything. Finished the final I was feeling a lot of anxiety about, and it wasn't too incredibly hard. I even had a lot of fun decrypting a ROT-1 cipher. Again, y'all are good people.

Severely. As well as other kinds of domestic abuse. Don't beat yourself up over not acting quicker. You weren't sure, and you sought advice. There's nothing wrong with that. She's getting help now and he's locked up, so that's good.

Getting out is a hell of a process. The transition back into normal life can be difficult and you can thank the military for not really having a program in place that helps deprogram you from the military's very specialised way of living.

Melthir posted:So I want to know if this is a good idea or if I'm going to gently caress myself. I have an appointment to talk to Doc next week about a series of reoccurring nightmares I've been having for seven years or so. If he refers me to a therapist will that gently caress me out of my retirement? I have four years left and I'd rather deal with it then get it fixed if it's going to gently caress me. Uhhh, seek treatment, that shouldn't affect your retirement at all.

The mask down moment of telling us you dropped slurs in another goon discord because they frustrated you, with the history of harassing children in Among Us until they cry, is why you got the boot. Oh and the whole untermensch bit. I don't want to leave you isolated but that sort of behavior, even if it's happening outside of our discord, isn't going to be tolerated. What you need to do to get back in to the discord isn't something that can happen immediately, but requires some introspection and growth, and a realization of why we think you telling us about the time you dropped slurs isn't cool.
