Write your shit out in a journal on your computer. Make sure she wouldn’t be able to access it of course. Or when your alone in your truck, say what you’re feeling/thinking out loud as if you were talking to a therapist.

This helps me because vocalizing my thoughts and feelings makes me realize how pathetic and unnecessary they are, how pathetic the problems I’m ruminating over are when they’re spoken out loud.

For anxiety, lift weights do cardio and meditate every day. Meditate every day. if you really need help or you need something in your back pocket to use as a crutch every once in a while, get prescribed a beta blocker. However, of course a beta blocker isn’t ideal because it’s a crutch and a temporary fix.

Journaling helps.

You need to release these feelings somehow. If you repress something, it only creates more problems and bleeds in to other areas of your life, as you’re seeing with your amplified anxiety.

What works for me, is talking to myself and recording it. I’ll go for a drive in my car, turn on my voice memo recorder, and I’ll just say everything that’s on my mind, no matter how stupid, weak, dumb, crazy or whatever. No one says anything back obviously, there’s no feedback from anyone. But once I’m done, I feel way better and more centered.

Sometimes I listen back to the recordings from years ago, and it seems so silly, but at the same time I realize I have a really level head because of how i have talked my way through things on my own.

Feels weird at first but you should try it.

We’re taught to never “talk to ourselves” because that’s what “crazy” people do. But we literally talk to ourselves silently in our head all day. Pay more attention, and you’ll realize you’re silently narrating everything you do and have done. When you journal about it or verbally release it, it’s now “out of you” and not yours anymore. You can let it go.

Get friends.

Male friends.

This is the reason why BJJ and kickboxing gets recommended as well.

It helps with stress and it helps in finding male friends to hang out with.

Another thing. Maybe even more important: you need a mission. If you would have one, you would not worry. (I only found out after I found mine. If yo do not have a mission yet, make it your short term mission to find a mission. This also will help you to stay focused)
