*rather than think. Also, don’t go on your computer as much. Imagine your life being in a movie right now… Would you want to watch it? Especially since it is you just chillin on the computer? Didn’t think so. I know you can do this, basically, I want you to try and do something against your own will if it’s involving going out with friends or something like that. You need to interact. But don’t be stupid and do drugs or anything. Real bad road to go down. If you have other questions lemme know

*acting things out. You said you don’t like to even go out and have fun with friends… Let me guess, (ignoring their texts/calls, saying you’ll chill over the weekend and then end up not). What you have to do is steer away from what your mind wants you to do. You have to get it to react to situations. Excercise also helps, and it’s what helped me the most. I made this obstacle course in the woods a while back that I run through. It gets my adrenaline pumping and forces me to react, rather than

Well, you may think that this sounds wacky but it works… I like to over analyze things and then dwell on them for days… One time I dwelled on something so much and I was having conversations with myself in my own head. It scared me and I didn’t know what to do. I would wake up in the middle of the night and I would be scared out of my mind, to the point where I was hyperventilating. We all need to be alone sometimes. But to much alone time doesn’t excercise your brains process of acting out

with OCD too?

Which is weird because i really don’t care what people think.
But maybe, deep inside I do care what others think, and I don’t even realise it.
I don’t know, but do you have any idea what this is called? Is it an anxiety disorder?
February 16th, 2010 at 5:45 pm
Thats going to be hard as i do alot of thinking
It takes me 1-2 hours to fall asleep because for some weird reason I think too much, I have overactive mind which is the reason I got an anxienty problem two years ago
I need to find a way to clear my head
The only time I dont have this problem is when having fun or when at home or even when i am alone, it really only happens in places, that i know i can get embarased
Lisening to music while car ride actualy helps. But sometimes it dosent

Stay busy man, this is both Mental and Physical. Isolating yourself in your house will NOT help, I used to be the same way and it still comes back here and there. Whenever I am busy, it helps, start doing workouts, try new things you don’t normally see yourself doing. JUST DON’T TRAP YOURSELF IN YOUR OWN HEAD! This is half of the reason as to how things like this will get worse. Don’t think or over analyze things too much. Like I said, do something new or something you wouldn’t usually do.

and its horrible going on long trips. Its not a thing where i can jsut tell myself i dont have to go, because the more i try to ignore it the stronger it sometimes gets..
The only times i don’t feel this way, is when i am at my house or doing some sort of physical activity like skateboarding.
I don’t even like going places anymore, i stay home most of the time now.
Its basicaly getting in the way of my life.
Well at least talking to someone helps. Nobody knows about this but me here.

about a year ago i told my dad about and my mom, and they both though i was crazy, well at least looked at me that way, they took me to the doc.and he though i had overactive bladder, he gave me meds that dirent work and after that i been acting like it went away, but it really has not.
So, ive been stuck with this for two years, and at school, i have learn to kinda control it, but still go 2-4 times during school. It really gets intense when a teacher tells me i cant go to the restroom.

Yes, that can happen from time to time, talk to your doctor, if it’s been happening for that length of time, and try and find ways to manage it. It’s a psychological feeling, not a real pressing need. =)

I think i might have some sort of anxiety disorder I don’t know wich one, i checked doctor for physical illnes that could make me feel like this, but nothing came up
I think this is all in my head i always knew from the start that this happen that it was not something physical but mental
Im just not sure anymore
you know that feeling of when you get anxies and you feel like you have to pee. Well since 2 years ago, it constantly comes up, and i cant get rid of it. Do you know what it is?
February 16th, 2010 at 8:41 pm
Yeah, that sounds like a plan. Learning to reduce my GAD symptoms, reducing stimulants intake and, as you say, getting independant all helped really get things under control again. It’s tough.

Lyndon method works!!!!

Im hoping that after I move back to the states and start living on my own, being independent in all aspects of my life, it will give me a more sure sense of security reducing my fears and ultimately bringing an end to my GAD. What do you guys think? Im open for any advice or opinions.
February 16th, 2010 at 11:14 pm
the language, school, the people, evil family terrorizing me etc. caused major stress and I believe thats what truly messed me up. I am absolutely against drugs, I believe people become dependent and have to continue taking them for the rest of their lives because it messes up their natural brain chemistry, so therefore Im trying to cope with it myself.

I am 99% sure that I have GAD, which I think also gives me some underlying symptoms of OCD and maybe a little social anxiety (just thinking that people are judging me all the time). I think I’ve had the anxiety since I was about 16 but it was tolerable, not as bad as it is now. I think that it got worse after a LARGE amount of stress I started going through when I moved to another country (my home country, though Im American and have grown up in America as English being my first language);
February 16th, 2010 at 11:58 pm
