Perhaps try focusing more on your breathing and start stretching. Meditate, read books. Go into nature. Try swimming.

Better not try though, just do it. Also, if someone asked you that question what advice would you give that person?

Go out for a ride on a motorcycle if you’re into that. It helps me escape my dark thoughts. Or take a break from your reality and go on a small vacation or just relax at home. Eat,sleep, play games and relax. Smoke weed idk

Thanks for sharing. Just keep yourself busy and productive, that will ease your mind off your worries. Find new goals, learn new things.

Buy some hemp flower, it does wonders for anxiety and insomnia. Plus it’s legal.

You are clearly in a dark place. Been/are in a couple ones too.

Self consciousness is very important. Face yourself and access yourself.

Why are you feeling that way. Is there something in your live that is messing with your nerves, and giving you those symptoms? That's called somatization.

If that's the case, you must discuss your issues openly with others.

You can do it here, openly, or just formulating in a general manner your issues, and people will help.

If not, you must find the right doctor. Bear in mind that a lot of doctors don't look at you like and individual, but as a customer. They will consult you, charge their fee, and get on with their lives. You must find one that you really trust and that you believe is there to help you.

Medication is easy to prescribe, and usually the doctor gets some benefit from prescribing it. So, just don't hope that some medication prescribed by a doctor will help you.

Feel free to PM me if you want to discuss something more private.

Hey I'm an avid guitar player - let's talk dude

degeneracyagainban · 2020-01-29T20:54:54+00:00

Hey man, I also have a lot of the same symptoms as you and it's very scary but your not alone in feeling that way. Stay strong mate

My opinion is that most of the time, men have a reason to be down and depressed. You said you have no friends or family. well, who wouldn't feel dark and lonely? this can also have an effect on the body. don't listen to the fake people wo say "just sleep more", or: "give it time". No. Sometimes we are depressed for a reason. Find that reason and fix it. It seems like you need people around you who share your interests. there are meetup groups everywhere. just go and sit. can't get worse, right? maybe the reason is something else. you need to find the answer to that.

in some cases it can be a chemical issue in the body/brain, but i would first assume it's not and try to analyze myself

hope it helps. ;)

Go talk to the neurologist. See what he says. Maybe he deals with these symptoms all the time and will have some immediate answers for you. And he will run tests and figure you out. So make the appointment and then take a deep breath and relax. By making that appointment you have just taken the first step to figuring out the problem. And throw on a movie or something and enjoy the rest of your night.

Read a book entitled "Healing your Metabolism" by Kate Deering.

Disclaimer: I am not a doctor nor a healthcare professional, though my handle would suggest otherwise.

My best advice: If you can swing it, sleep somewhere else and see if you experience the same thing.

I feel for your troubles and know social isolation all too well. If you are having trouble coping feel free to send me a private

Hope you grab your axe soon

Sounds like it could be a tick bite?

As patronizing as it sounds (not my intention), stay hydrated.

If your urine isn't clear, you're dehydrated, even if you don't feel thirsty.

Don't chug water all at once, but take small glasses of water in hourly intervals (doesn't need to be precise, just consistent).

For headaches, stand up and let your head rest forward, as if you're looking at your toes; Gently roll your head to either side (keeping it "down") and then to the other.

Stretching can also help aid your circulation, I do a jumping-jack style, minus the jumping. Go nice and slow; it's not about speed, but grace.

Yoga might help, it may look like it's for "sissies" but that's just a preconception. Another way to look at is this: If pushups are a strength exercise and running is endurance exercise, then yoga is discipline exercise.

Above all else, see a doctor.

it seems you're feeling the cocoon around you.
keep pushing.

this did the trick for me

take vitamins and magnesium when you wake up.
vitamis help your strenght, magnesium will help regulating your sleep cycle and make you less irritated.

get yo ass in the woods and stay there by yourself for few hours per week.
walking, exploring, breathing fresh air, observing nature in its process of just "being". it helps clearing the clutter inside our mind, and calming it down.

stress is a fucking nightmare, dont let it take over.

Do you eat much fish? Ciguatera possibly? Get to the doc.

o0perfect0o · 2020-01-30T17:49:04+00:00

Thank you all for the support. I am going to do my best to just relax, and do what I can do. Meditating helps, being grateful, etc. I will figure it all out and cope as best I can.

ElegantSantoku · 2020-01-31T00:41:16+00:00
