Since when did we become a generation of pussys, /pol/?
>>70745089
people care cuz muh boner
I get mad anxiety. Can't leave the house sometimes.
But yes I know it is beta and I don't tell anyone about it.
It's crazy. Feels like you're being totally swallowed up. I've blacked out a few times.
>>70745930
I get really depressed some times but no anxiety.
It's generally similar I think. Pervading, crushing sense of malaise.
Daily reminder that anxiety and anxiety attacks are nothing more than a meme created by women to get sympathy from men. Check em x2
>>70745787
>pretend to care, get to crush some puss
worth it
I've seldom left the house in 8 or 9 years because of anxiety.
Fuck this attention-seeking slag and fuck glamorising or normalising an utterly crippling pain in the arse.
All that changed is the lighting and the lack of makeup.
>>70746286
sure maybe in real life. most of this stuff seems to float about on the internet where theres no chance of it actually manifesting.
>>70746328
I think I would choose alcoholism over being immobilized for 9 years.
>>70746387
yeah, agreed. no need to do that online. most people asking for sympathy online are actually asking for attention.
>>70745089
i've had panic attacks since having a bout with caccer and taking a picture of myself would be the last thing on my mind.
she's clearly doing this for attention

>>70745089
as a person who has done many drugs, if you can't control your emotions and reactions you are not a human, you are an animal.
>>70745089
>God knows why I'm doing this
Because you are an attention whore
>>70745089
I've got clinical depression and sometimes severe panick attacks. The last thing I want to do is boast about it on the internet to get attention.
Ho and the attacks aren't triggered by some rude internet comment. Those people are a fucking joke
As far as I know I look exactly the same, it's all internal
>>70745930
Use meds
Next
Fucking women. Any excuse to get attention.
>>70745089
>Reply
ive noticed that kids these days claim to suffer from anxiety all the time and do have panic attempts and cope terribly with stress.
i wonder what the cause is. im not that much older than them, but the differenc eis like night and day.
how will this generation function as a full gorwn adult?
how mentally fucked will they grow up to be?
like they dont even fake it. they literally have panic attacks, hyperventilating and freaking the fuck out.
like...how? what teh hell

Some of these people are really too stupid to help themselves and would lead better lives as addicts.
>>70747356
ITT - I don't understand it, so it must be because they're weak.
>>70746452
Quite. My body has been falling apart for 4 years or so. Even if I were to mentally get out of this hole, physically I'm in tatters. Joints complaining, bones moving out of their proper places inexplicably, toes going permanently numb one by one... every time I try to exercise it just aggravates it all. Fucking waste of life. Never let anxiety take hold, lads. If something makes you anxious, go at it with twice the enthusiasm.
brb taking selfie to post to my 100k followers.
>>70747090
It's always the case unless you, say, faint. If a person throws a hissyfit and hyperventilates then they're seeking attention.
>>70745089
literally who?
>>70745930
i know what you mean man, i got panic disorder, evolved into full blown agoraphobia, couldn't leave the house for over a year
still mentally crippled, good thing i got autismbux to help me out
>>70747193
barely works, it just allows you to do groceries, but not be a productive member of society
>>70747448
you can't just "get over it" or "improve yourself" with severe cases, it's a physical disorder in brain chemistry
meds can try to balance it, but you can't fix it
>>70747478
this
most people who suffer from anxiety avoid any kind of social interaction
>>70747448
Panic attacks don't happen every single day.
You're abusing them if you get hooked on them if you're using them for panic attacks.
>>70746286
I wanna crush some puss
>>70746495
There's enough white knight faggot cucks to think they'll get laid if they give them enough attention
because: women
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qQ0bt-D9mc
>>70747726
Only anxiety I have is having people talk to me in public when I just want to be left alone and do what I need to do before I get to go back home and shitpost.
I'm also on the fucking edge the past week waiting for my CDL test tomorrow. Just mentioning it right now increased my heart rate and have a heavy chest feeling.
>>70747726
>>70747604
>>70747553
Hey everyone, listen to the clinical psychologists in here! I didn't know we had so many doctors that browse /pol/
Since Americans became entitled to everything.
>>70747726
Yea if you think you're going to have a heart attack or can't breathe, the last fucking thing is posting your stupid whore face on Instagram or whatever. I usually just pace around and get stuck inside my own head
I have no sympathy for this fucking bitch
>>70747752
you don't take meds to stop a panic attack, you take them to prevent panic attacks
low level anti depressants regulate your hormonal balance, which makes it so that there's a decreased chance of freaking the fuck out
the chance is still there in extreme cases though
it also has a bunch of shitty side effects like decreased libido, weight gain or loss (depends on your metabolism, i've been getting fatter for years now and i used to be skinny), decreased motivation, caring less in general about everything, less happy moments etc
Its also pretty cool that all the people posting about how weak these people suffering from a mental illness are, are all 250+ pounds and don't have a girlfriend. Love it.
>>70747855
i just got my cdl 2 weeks ago. haven't done shit with it cause bunch of home issues. feels bad
>>70747894
Fuck off you mincing handwringing faggot. Never did I say I was a doctor or do anything but share my opinion.
>>70748135
>50+ pounds and don't have a girlfriend
>projecting this badly
>>70747553
So do that as a conscious decision, and don't try to sell the idea that those kind of meds are gonna do anything but lead a life as an addict.
>>70747694
I'm in the very same boat, I know there's mostly no cure to those conditions, but therapy and physical training will improve your condition in most cases. Anxiety meds specifically are very very addictive.
>>70747752
Really? because I remember having panic attacks every day.
And it's not the point, because people who suffer from anxiety, even if they don't have a panic attack per se(no hyperventilation and such, only crippling terror), suffer every day.
>>70748146
Jeeze, you're pissy. The only people that get pissy like that about someone simply saying something are women. Eat less estrogen, jesus.
>>70747894
Other people have anxiety problems and experiences of their own. If you don't like it then get the fuck off the thread you fucking autist mouth-breathing dumb fuck
Besides what do doctors know anymore? Most of them in America are poo in the loos.
>>70748135
Knock it off.
>>70748139
What state you live in? I know I got my pretrip down, my only issue is parallels and the fear of stalling the truck on the road.
Universal suffrage was a great idea lads
These people are obviously fit to decide who rules us
>>70745089
I suffer from panic disorder, and I'm a lobster fisherman. I don't freak out and cry though. If it's a tough situation and someone's like "Sir, I need you to sign this", I'mma be like "Sorry, I need a second to breathe, I'm having a panic attack. If I treat them like a medical condition, they tend to go away. And people are usually understanding.
>>70748281
You sound triggered. I can almost here you lisping through the screen. "Jesus"
>>70748304
nevada. some shit school with one working truck, and not certified so all tests had to be done at the dmv.
pretrip is a joke, just don't fuck up any instant failure stuff on the brake test.
the backing skills were easy for me. i got really good at offsets and the parallel is just simple formula, the set up is what counts.
driving test sucks cause it's difficult not to miss a gear and coast for instafail amount of feet, but i aced it despite not passing any of our mock tests.
if you fail just keep trying. not a huge deal depending on how much money your school jews you for. remember when you have a cdl you have more or less a free access pass to a job
>>70746334
And shes topless for some reason.

That reason is attention and neckbeards
>>70748713
I will apologize to you for the vitriol. I had an extra cup of coffee this morning.
>>70748772
I was more referring to the people saying Anxiety isn't real. But, keep it up, wouldn't expect a jew to be able to read for more than a few seconds.
>>70747560
whats to understand?
so far ive just made the observation that the frequency of these cases is increasing. idk why. i just know it is becoming a bigger and bigger issue
>>70747604
Sounds like fibro. I feel for you man, I hope you get better.
>>70748857
Yeah sorry m8 I misread you post
also rude
Once I had this period I didn't leave my house for 1 month(even to store), then I started having some weird attacks, I always find it weird when social people they have anxiety because they don't act like they do
>>70748033
They use it for both. Using it for general anxiety disorders is not recommended due to addiction and because people with panic disorders have altered GABA receptors. They prefer to use it only during panic attacks.
Not to mention it's been proven using benzodiazepines for GAD or panic attacks makes the patient have more panic attacks while the drug is simultaneously weakening how effective it is.

Panic attacks don't happen daily. You're confusing panic attacks and generalized anxiety disorder.
>>70748840
And this folks, is a rational person. Realizes when they're wrong. I like it, you're alright.
>>70748963
What are people with GAD generally treated with or prescribed?
I know people hate the idea of taking medication, but it can really help you get on your feet and start changing yourself. I used to get horrible panic attacks and bad bouts of depression where it felt like my brain was in the clouds at all times. I started taking zoloft and it helped clear the fog enough that I was able to get up and actually do something. It's not perfect, but medication can help you kickstart some life changes.
>>70748635
California here. Went to a decent school, cost a jew load but I'm unemployed and going all in on this shit. I got my airbrake test down, but I worry I'll slip a wrong word and insta-fail that shit.
Offsets are easy as fuck as you have plenty of room to adjust your angle and shit, my parallels are what fucks me up. Luckily I can just do pullups a few times before its considered a failure.
I've gotten good at shifting, just have to remember when going downhill to not shift 1 gear up, but skip a gear.
Don't have a lot of time to fail, I paid for extra tests just in case (sweet $150 deal to get 2 extra tests if I fail the first)
The school provides job assistance and I'm sure in the area I live in I'll manage to find a local job. Just tired of this minimum wage bullshit but now hamburger flippers wont to make as much as a fucking professional trucker. What a joke.
>>70748945
Also I got attack when my neighbor started talking to me, I just didn't expect it, niggers need to learn to leave people alone
I would kill myself if this country had smalltalk culture
Wow I wish my anxiety made me quirky and attractive instead of dreading every moment of my life.

youre like the faggots that claim that transgenderism isnt body dysmorphia
>>70748945
Yea I always thought the same. I mean I'm sure some people handle anxiety/panic disorders differently.. either that or they are just lying for attention obviously..
Do some disorders give people the ability to fake their illness and make it seem like they are extroverts? I never understood people who inside have crippling depression/anxiety but yet go out and have tons of friends and are very social.
>>70748304
btw shift as little as necessary when taking your driving test. never bother downshifting lower than 6. also try to start in a high gear (3rd or 4th if you know how to) so you don't go so holyfuck slow in intersection where the dmv nazis won't let you accelerate
>>70749043
Tons of drugs, depending on how much it affects them.
It includes SSRI's, tricyclics, SNRI's, benzodiazepines, beta blockers and many others.

>>70748963
Alright, it might be the case, but my point of not touching benzos unless they are absolutely necessary still holds. It's addictive, fun as hell and I heard American doctors are really trigger happy with this shit
>>70749062
Agreed. I'm on zoloft too and it did help a lot
It has even somewhat "cured" my crippling drug addiction. I mean cravings never go away but I don't have a annoying urge to use drugs every day at least
>>70749043

What an amusing little exchange.
>>70749156
Thanks bro. I was told to start out in third since its an empty/light load. I drive around town faking a dmv test to make sure I'm looking left and right at intersections and remmebering to fucking put my range selector down or I'll be fucking pissed when I let off that clutch.
>>70749207
I never told you to take benzos. I just said it's better to use them infrequently for panic attacks and not GAD. Yes, it's very easy to get benzodiazepines in the US. I constantly turn them down.
I used to get panic attacks and still have really bad anxiety from time to time, and the last fucking thing on my mind would be taking a picture.
>>70746286
>pretend to care, get to crush some puss
Except nobody pretending to care is crushing any puss, ever.
These women are fucking scum nowdays social media has ruined them. They'll do anything for attention, anything. How low can you be to pretend you have a mental illness? Mental healthcare is garbage in most countries and cunts like this aren't helping making it any better. Cunt should have her teeth kicked in.
>>70749322
I was at a long light and when it was green I kept fucking stalling 5-6 times. Light went red and people behind me were stuck for another cycle. Instructor didn't tell me because he wanted me to learn, which I did, but I kept fucking stalling it because the range selector was in high gear.
>>70745089
I have post-army anxiety and I sleepwalk. how can I capitalize on this?
>>70749165
I take an SNRI for anxiety, now I have anorgasmia.
>>70749207
Anyways, I don't see why you hate benzodiazepines so much without hating alcohol.
They're both GABA agonists and have the same withdrawal and addiction symptoms.
>>70748963
Are there any GABA modulators that don't have a strong rebound effect? Benzodiazepines, like alcohol, are a useful "cheat" for throwing yourself into nerve-wracking situations that would otherwise feel insurmountable, but a couple days after the dose wears off you feel even more socially crippled than before.
>>70749175
Did you even read my post? I didn't say it solved anything. I said it helped my depression enough that I was able to start changing things in my life. It definitely didn't solve anything, just helped subdue some of the feelings of depression. Which in return made me feel good enough to go out and change different aspects of my life.
>>70749080
Yeah desu ignoring it does wonders although telling people in the midst of an anxious episode will think you are a moron.
If everyone exercised regularly and had a good diet (and maybe meditated daily as well) I think it would be surprising how many mental ills would disappear
This cunt reminds me of some bitch actress.. Does anyone know who it reminds me of?
>>70749512
start a blog about PTSD and have donate buttons all over it
>>70749207
benzos are fine if they're not abused. i've been on .5mg of clonazepam daily for 3 years and i've never had to take more than prescribed. some people take several mg/day which will obviously cause a problem
>>70747894
Telling people to go to a psychologist and possibly use meds is perfectly normal advice.
>>70745089
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Literally feels like you're dying when having a panic attack. how in the fuck does she get the time/even fucking consider taking a selfie in that situation. I don't believe it. this cunt needs to be spammed with gore immediately
>>70747448
>Just improve urself brah
Benzos help physical symptoms more than psychic ones.
Get back in the oven.
>>70745089
How is this any different from attention whoring?
>>70749566
None that I've ever seen a study done on. All GABA agonists cause problems with addiction and withdrawal.
Beta blockers can stop the physical effects of anxiety (sweating, shaking, etc.) but won't affect the psychological aspects.
>>70749390
exactly! I'm calling bullshit
>>70745930
This. I have it and it's shit. Don't have any friends so pretty much nobody to talk to about it. Women like in the OP put on an act, it's easy to tell. Nobody spreads that they have anxiety.
Also desu I think obsessing with panic attacks and self-identifying as an anxious person and making it part of your identity is one of the worst things you can do when fighting anxiety. Accepting and internalizing that you are an anxious person is putting the nail in the coffin imo
>>70747448
Tb b I had strong panic attacks on the regular for 5 years, then getting hooked on weed is what made them stop
Now I'm functional and chill and got something to thank the leafy jew for
>>70747356
Anxiety happens when you view a task as insurmountably difficult and your own skill low.
This has happened for a few reasons. Schools don't prepare kids for the future, but also the present is more challenging than ever before.
The internet lets us see people who are way better than us. If you like guitar hero, then you go watch guitar hero phenom play, you instantly lose faith in your own abilities. Even artists have quick access to work far better than their own, which makes them feel like they can't do anything well enough to be relevant.
In the past you would be worshipped if your football team made the state playoffs. All this means a lot of the time is thst you were in the top half of teams.
Doesn't matter, being told you were great made you believe it, and allows you to go on andface greater challenges, even if you secretly suck.
Don't be fooled. The participation trophy is a good thing. In the glory years we called them letterman's jackets, and they held some real power.
>>70749710
"Feeling a little uncomfortable" is now considered a panic attack by the weak pussy birches this decadent generation has produced
>>70749763
That's quite attractive since a big hindering aspect of anxiety is feeling as if you're about to die of exhaustion or cardiac arrest or something.
i have anxiety too, i try to put it down a bit with alcohol, without alc i couldn't even go infront a window, i can't even go in my own garden, it's really retarded what's going on in your head at that time, you get litterally controlled by your fear, your fear controlls you, there is nothing you can do, it's like a fucking demon who can't stop talking, maybe they will do this, yes they will do this, better don't show yourself, they could think that and plot that...that goes on and on and on.. it's the worse sickness you can have, it's probably not even a real sickness, it's a thinking pattern, because we got brainwashed all our live with tv, too comfy childhood, etc.
Suddenly real life thoughts break in and you just shut down and make excuses so you don't need to to anything, at some points these excuses are no excuses anymore, you really think everything you think is going to be real, you litterally think you get fucking killed if you go outside, it's the living fucking HELL.
>>70749541
I found benzos to be much more addictive.
I'm not gonna say that I recommend alcohol to people who want to treat anxiety. I'm ok with people taking dangerous drugs, I don't think it's fair to give it as medicine without making it very clear that it is a dangerous drugs, and alcohol is not advertised as a medicine.
>>70749711
>Just take happy pills brah
Why would I get back into the oven? I'm winning
>>70745089
>my anxiety and panic attacks are not a cry for more attention, i'm seriously you guys i can't help it, please i need the attention so i don't get into more panic.. please comfort me..
Sorry.. don't buy it.. In the past i've had panic attacks for a year because of some physical pains and stuff that i thought might be something else.. I don't have it anymore, no meds, or anything to get over it, just facing it down and realizing nothing bad was happening eventhough the pains were there..
This girl just seems like a straight up attention whore.. But this is the mental delusion that things like tumblr enables.. where it becomes trendy to have some kind of mental illness or some condition to get attention so people just imagine the shit up in their heads.. it's fucking ridiculous.. and then the transgender and all this other stuff comes out of that malaise of bullshit..
>>70745089
This bitch doesn't have anxiety I can see it in her eyes, she's acting. Have a real panic attack you will not be able to take a well framed selfie of yourself, you will drop whatever you're holding and hyperventilate.
Source: am an actor can tell when people are acting, also sister used to get severe panic attacks. They look nothing like these pics imo
>>70745930
look up mindful mediation. I shit you not, this stuff saved my life
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HT_ZvD94_kE
Also if you do it, try as much as possible to focus on the part of your head between your eye brows where your minds eye is.
>>70749931
>>70749963
Yes, benzos are more addictive. They have a stronger affinity for GABA receptors than alcohol and produce a lot stronger effect.
Alcohol still causes the same problems, it will just take longer for the addiction and cause more organ damage.
>>70749911
Beta blockers are great if you're having that feeling. They're non-narcotic so you should be able to easily get them from a doctor.
>>70749988
Most people who suffer from Anxiety do NOT want attention either. The last thing they want is fucking attention. Attention causes more anxiety. This bitch is shilling for something
I can't even imagine getting panic attacks for no reason.
>>70749571
yes, but did you elarn anything besides "medication will fix my problems"?
have you learned to identify depression?
have you figured out a way to counteract it?
im against advocating medication as the solution to depression because ultimately, youve done nothing but resort to a drug to perceivably solve your depression issue.
i know some depression literally needs medication to fix, but its all too easy to turn to it to fix any old depression.
>>70749614
>taking disassociates ever
I don't think being pussies is the issue here. What I don't get is why this woman felt the need to attention whore like this.
>>70745089
>panic disorder
Why though? Is her favorite lip gloss no longer available?
I've seen gruelling hatred, broken people, death and inconceivable misery. I've been stabbed once, could have died. Still stings sometimes. I'm still sane, even my doctor says so. What kind of drugs are these women smoking? Is it a hormone thing? This is what being offended must feel like. I went into hell and came back out again, what for? Apparently, not being a pussy doesn't matter anymore.

Wew lad she got BTFO
>>70750249
It fucking sucks.
Had my first panic attack when I was 33.
Went to see the doctor because the chest pains were so bad.
Of course, nothing was physically wrong.
>>70750265
because of the micro aggressions and patriarchy
>>70749869
this is why im one of those folks who insists on telling people they can literally do anything

Women seem to be suffering from mental illness the most these days. Every time I see something crazy its usually from a woman.
Unless men are just better at hiding it
>>70745089

That's fucking bullshit. PTSDfag, here. Had a panic attack last week, you don't can't do shit when it happens.
>>70750256
It's not a dissociative.
>>70745089
>When your life is so 1st world that you have to imagine scary things for excitement
Is this some kind of evolutionary thing where we used to be so scared of dying every day, that now in our comfy cozy lives, we need to pretend to be scared? Jesus fuck...
>>70750396
Men hide it because society expects them to. But a lot of women are exaggerating. Not to say they don't have problems though, but women always have it easier and get more attention.
>>70750359
How problematic.

This happened to my father. Had chest pains in his mid 30s, doctor diagnosed as panic attacks. He dropped dead at 41 of a massive heart attack.

>>70750475
Yeah, I'm not sure why he thinks clonazepam (-pam ending denotes benzos typically) is a dissociative.
Dissociatives are also very effective drugs at treating depression. They're doing a lot of pre-human trials using dissociatives for depression.
They're having problems making a drug that treats the depression without the risk of abuse. At the moment they're using ketamine analogues that are much weaker than ketamine itself.
>>70745089
>I’m so sick of the fact that it’s 2016

>>70750067
Leaf, that point between the eyebrows where your minds eye is or whatever. Why does that tingle for me? Or pulse? It's a strange feeling, when I focus on it it gets stronger. It's not really pleasant but it's sort of enjoyable. When I notice it, it gets stronger, and when I do meditation type stuff its quite noticeable.
Trapped nerve, or is my third eye trying to break free? Kek

Beta blockers are great. I take 10mg of inderal (lowest dose possible) for hypertension and anxiety. For the first 3 days, I felt anxiety disappear, and even felt like I didn't want to smoke a cigarette. Then my body got used to it and now I don't feel it.
Blood pressure is great now, though.
Non-narcotic, no lethal side effects, so I might take my doctors recommendation and up my dosage. BUT I heard with higher doses, hair loss can occur.

don't let them control you

I love that she threw in the we are all one race meme too and made her fake anxiety disorder a piece of sjw propaganda about how we all have to be le united
She's faking it for attention btw. Her job is literally to be a social media personality, she's trying to make herself more interesting.
>>70745089
Wtf, she just took off her make-up.
>>70745089
She's a cry baby bitch, and course she has to show the world her feels. Attention whore.
I have horrible anxiety. But I handle my shit and work in commercial retail. Anxiety is a phenomenal motivator. Most anxiety disorders seem to stem from people learning or being taught no methods to cope or transform intense negative emotions.
Mine is physiological. My brain is defective and will randomly just go from resting normal chemistry to "I'M PRETTY SURE WE JUST GOT THROWN OUT OF AN AIRPLANE WE'RE ABOUT TO DIE" and I do just fine.

Inst we of taking a pill for your hypertension how about you work out you fat fuck

If you get on at the right times, pol has really good discussions in more serious threads about stuff. Like once there was a pretty serious depression thread with lots of well thought out content and ideas to get better, why it happens etc.
You just have to get lucky with this board, like all anonymous image boards. Its pure chance whether or not good posters will be on.
That being said this thread is funny.

It's odd that it completely got rid of your anxiety instead of only the physical symptoms, but that's great to hear it works for you. It's not entirely unheard of that would happen, though.
Quitting cigarettes while on beta-blockers isn't unheard of either. They're among the medications people use to treat nicotine addiction. Typically to treat the anxiety it can cause.

I have actual OCD (diagnosed by a clinical psychologist, had problems since I was in elementary school that have gotten worse through puberty) and they need to change the name of this disorder or something so all of the dumbasses stop saying "I have OCD care about my disorder". anyone with either type of actual OCD will definitely not brag about it, let alone mention it to others unless necessary. obsessive compulsive disorder should be broken into obsessive personality disorder and compulsive personality disorder. I'm not compulsive to any degree higher than the average so I don't understand why I am categorized as this.
>>70751147
Its also why people browse /x/ and look up conspiracy videos and stuff. Its good for you to be naturally scared shitless every now and then, fear is actually an amazing survival mechanism. Without any struggle to survive, humans often feel discontent and confused.

>>70751193
>Does blood pressure shoot even higher with discontinuation?
Yes. It's recommended to step down the dosage instead of cold turkey to avoid the problems with BP spiking.
Also, while it can lower blood pressure, there's worry that it doesn't lower your risk of stroke or heart attack despite the lower BP.

You are stimulating the prefrontal cortex. This is VERY good for your mind. Do this as much as possible.
also go look up the prefrontal cortex. Meditation is basically exercise for your brain

It's all about having direction, and following the needs of the body. You know, that one triangle picture of bodily wants.

I'm not fat. I'm nearly 30 with a family history of high blood pressure.
>>70751121
It's wierd. I felt so calm and relaxed that I forgot about why I was anxious. I guess hypertension may be a reason why I was anxious as well. Maybe if I have the dosage increased, I'll quit smoking (I love cigarettes, but will not deny I am addicted and it's a nasty habit. ) and that'll even make me more chill.
>>70751437
Indeed, nature is the ultimate guide. Always right and unquestionable.
Also what did she have the panic attack ABOUT.. She probably can't tell..
>>70751012
Haha i know that feeling, i had panic attack for a year because i had strong physical pains that could have been something serious but fortunately wasn't.. And when they came i was like shit i'm going to die, should i go to the doctor, nah don't be a fucking pussy, just laying there for half an hour or something thinking this is it..
Can sympathize with having that fight or flight mechanism just spontaneously activate.

Really all they've done is take charge of something that has some kind of pity attached to it then claimed they have it or have had it done to them or whatever. For further reading see
>Niggers monopolizing the word "racism"
>Feminists monopolizing the word "rape"
>Celebrities monopolizing whatever eating disorder is in vogue
>Millennials changing "can't sleep" to "insomnia"
>Women changing "having a bad day" to "depression"
>Anyone getting "butterflies" (for any reason as long as it's happened once) to "anxiety"
>Jews monopolizing anything that they can take money with using the least amount of energy
It just carries on like that, I can't fully blame some of them like millennials because all they've ever known is pity and sensationalism.
>>70751415
Interesting. I can do it at will, though sometimes I'll fail to do it if I try like if I'm tired, under any narcotic influence etc.
The weird thing about that is I remember doing that as a child and finding it enjoyable then.
Also I'm completely dead inside, no emotions whatsoever so clearly my brain isn't actually working very well. Oh well. Thanks for the info, I'll make sure to do it whenever I've got a minute.

Some real pieces of shit out there that just want to be victims 24/7
>>70745089
Maybe she does have legit panic attacks, but this is still a sickening level of narcissism.
obviously i sort of know what they are for and why they are called so, but the fact that "beta blockers" are named such is endlessly amusing to me

I'm an idiot: the post. Do you have any idea how many fucking people post on /pol/? Even if 100% of this thread had a personality disorder (which they don't) they would still only represent probably 1% of /pol/ posters looking at the poster count. Possibly even less than 1%
>>70751829
>I'm completely dead inside, no emotions whatsoever
you most likely have whats called a dissociate disorder (not an associative identity disorder thats different)
look into it.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dissociative_disorder
I was once the same as you because i was repressing and dissociating all of my emotions and past trauma.
>>70753257
Thank you leaf bro. This sounds exactly like what's been fucking me up. If you've got the time, how did you get past it? I want to feel alive again.
In any case thanks for the info. #NotAllLeaves

Nah they're real. You think you're going to die. A severe anxiety attack is extremely scary.

21% of Canadians have some kind of mental health disorder at some point in their lives, or one in five. I suspect the US and other places is fairly similar, and I imagine online communities probably have an even higher prevalence as mentally ill people are more likely to be hermits who never leave their house.
For safety I just assume everyone here is a paranoid schizophrenic.
>>70753363
>how did you get past it?
lots of therapy. Took me 3 tries to find the right therapist
She does like EMDR and deals with trauma shit. Obviously you cant see her so try to find someone who does things similar to this
http://www.associatedcounselling.ca/our_therapists.html
shes the 1st one
>
Christine has specialized training in EMDR, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Psychotherapeutic Meditation techniques and Neurofeedback.
Those are the most important.
Also il be honest with you, therapy is hard. Its fucking brutal. You have to go in and deal with all of the emotions and pain that were so hard for you to deal with that you were repressing them in the first place. Its extremely difficult. But its the ONLY way to get better.
Keep meditating, thats extremely important as well.
also

>implying
It took me about 3 years of therapy to go from completely dead emotionless virgin NEET to extremely happy, loving, social and cute trap.
Yep, i was repressing the fact that i hated being a male. Admitting to myself that i would be happier living as a girl is what saved me from suicide.
I mean i still had to go through and deal with all my other traumatic experiences and stuff, but that was a pretty big part
>>70753807

Didn't expect that. Kek. I guess it is 2016 after all.
Seriously though thanks, I'll look into it. It seems like it will cost a lot no matter what happens, therapy dont come cheap in the UK at all.
>>70754197
>Seriously though thanks, I'll look into it.
I wish i could be more help. I remember all too well what it feels like to be dead inside.
I wanted to get into psychology so i could go around helping people for free but i realized that was pretty naive of me.
