Not really /pol/ related but I cured my crippling anxiety with exercise and propranolol.

Obligatory

>prescription drugs
Not in question for me, would interfere with my studies.
Cant wait for the election influx to end. So many retards blogging and spamming offtopic threads pretending /pol/ is /b/ or /r9k/

Propranolol is a heart medication and beta-blocker. It does not interfere with anything.

I'm actually a daily/pol/ user, I just needed someone to talk to.

bro, you need Jesus. Get a bible, start with the 4 gospels, find a church. Anxiety comes from thinking you control everything, but we barely control our own lives. Jesus, God incarnate, died to reconcile us with the Almighty, to forgive us of our sins (sin being absence from God). Pray in the name of Jesus Christ and He will help you, and guide you if you'll let him. Know you are not alone, trust in Christ beyond logic in sincere faith, implore His mercy, ask Him to make you whole again, and He will

Everyone has different reactions to medication.

That's the issue with the human mind. It's so observant that its TOO observant.
>>74817386

>>74817344
What's your point?
>>74817528
Actually Russian Orthodox. And not one of the recent "muh traditionalism" converts, my heritage is 100% Russian.
Just relax and let fate be what it is, uncontrollable as fuck.
>>74817631
Its actually quite common. See >>74816810
>>74817645
Introduction of new medication to my body would likely make me lethargic or worse, something a medical student cannot afford.
>>74816517
no, i literally have 0 value for my own life at this point.
>>74817845
Don't have such a pessimistic outlook on life.
>>74817763
I'm guessing the anxiety you are suffering from is far worse than any minor side effects from a medication that may help you.
But do whatever you want bro.
>>74816517
I live with someone like that.
>>74818049
I know what you mean, but I don't want to take the risk. At this point I can function.
>>74818138
What's your opinion of her/him? Any stories?
>>74817763
Fuck, doctors are full of shit. You and lawyers, jacking off about how it's so hard to memorize stuff and regurgitate it like a fucking robot. CANNOT AFFORD ANY LOSS OF HYPERFOCUS a bloo bloo bloo bloo
>>74818355
I didn't even mention how difficult it is...
But hey, if it's so easy, why didn't you do it? It's such a walk in the park, after all?
Or are you just a raging NEET?
JUST
Stop masturbating.
