Since most of us suffer from anxieties of all kind, share what you do to help you with that
For me:
>Stretching before bed
Relieves tension from my neck and other areas which get tight from cringing and sitting huddled over. Usually do this 1-3 times a week and these are usually the nights I smoke weed as it helps further relax the muscles I stretch
>Meditation in the morning
Still trying to fully implement that in my life, been doing it 4-5 times a week for a month now and I can kinda feel a positive result atleast in my concentration
>Exercise whenever
Calesthenics, gym, bike, walking, whatever and whenever
>L theanine and/or St. John's wort tea
This is only for days I know will be stressful. Both supplements are really helpful for aleviating anxiety and mud brain,
Trying to get into:
>Yoga
>Tai chi/ qigong
(Only thing stopping me is the fear of the first time I go and have to deal with people)
Tai chi is cool. Used to train few years back. It leaves you in a really calm, lucid state.

>Exercise whenever
this is the only thing that I never understand
it makes me feel really stressed out, I feel really self counscious doing any kind of exercise

I know that If I exercised more I would have more confidence and less anxiety... but I've never been in shape so I don't know what it's like. I don't know what my goal is or what to shoot for.
I tend to pace a lot listening to music, scripting what I might say in X situation.
Also booze.

I walk to relieve stress and help with anxiety. I've walked around 15km so far today. I'm about to go out for another 10. It really helps me.

I rarely do exercise infront other people. I go to the gym either really early or really late and I mostly stick to bars and general bodyweight training which I can do alone.

>I feel really self counscious doing any kind of exercise
Meditation can help you get over that. Exercise is also #1 for neurogenesis.

Used to do DXM and weed combo minimum 2 times a week to cope.
Managed to cut it down but it's good to see other anxiety-relief-seeking druggies. Makes me feel better about myself.
I go onto /soc/ every night before bed and photoshop a picture of one of the girls there standing in my bedroom next to my bed from the perspective of me laying in bed, then look at it for about 40 minutes while slowly moving the screen to my face like the girl is getting in bed. If 4chan is down or I can't do it for any reason I just use the folder (pic related) because I've been doing it for a while
Helps a lot with my anxiety because I can go to sleep and have a dream about a girl getting into bed with me. I go to sleep more easily this way and wake up more relaxed. It has helped me add 3 hours of sleep from 4 a night to 7. I'm not a photoshop expert as youj can see but it still helps
>The realization that 99 times out of a 100 im superior to the person im talking to, and if not, why should I care what they think.
iktf, fuck I hate anxiety
