Anxiety

[GaRp58]

This is great dd! I was looking for an herbal remedy that I can grow myself!

Hi Lexirae, if you look into chamomille, baldrian, ginko and moringia, you will find the combination you need to HELP your anxiety. The CURE for your anxiety is another thing....The probable cause is your overdose of negative info since the CORONA BS, being a single mama and having too many bad people around you. Loud and aggresive persons are a vexation to your spirit. Also, stop telling yourself that you failed in your relationship with your childs father, he made the mistakes and you pulled the plug for reasons only you know and to make life better for your self and your little one. Life is good, you are a good person, remember above all things in hard times: IF YOU DO NOT CONSIDER YOURSELF A PERSON WORTH LOVING, WHY SHOULD OTHERS??
PEACE comes from within, BE at peace with yourself and it will get better, LOVE, GARY

Your physical health is important in SHTF, obviously, because otherwise you die. But people overlook their mental health, and that needs to be good, too. Mental and physical go hand in hand. You're no good to yourself or anyone else if you're sick, so choose to feel well! Running worst case scenarios in your head is ok as long as you actively work on worst case solutions, and don't just create anxiety in your brain that leaves you doing nothing.

Go out a lot to the fresh air, preferably in the forest if it has one nearby. If you can't figure out the trigger of fear, hypnosis would be a possibility, or even mystical music. Let yourself fall to the music, it's best to do it on a thin mat on the floor.
Whenever possible, leave the finders dependent on anxiety-solving drugs that make you dependent and if in a crisis the chemistry stuff no longer exists you have a big problem.
I wish you the best to get out of it, the way can be tough, but you will manage to do that.

I’m looking for old home remedies for anxiety. I’ve done some browsing online but was hoping I could gather some ideas from y’all. I’ve started taking Krav Maga, I already use a singing bowl for meditation, and I do yoga. But are there any herbal remedies you have heard of besides the usual lavender etc?

I guess you could try a bottle of Wild Turkey, vodka or fine Scotch plus a good Havana. It works for me.

 

[dirtdiva]

Isnt mullien tea good for anxiety too?

Yes mullein and lavender.

 

[Mountain trapper]

I almost forgot; a Thai massage works well too.

I usually listen to soothing music or the sounds of a river flowing by. My Wife prefers the sound of the ocean. Looks like you have alot to try from this post. Good Luck, Hope you find relief!

Find a soundtrack of light rain and thunder with loons in the background and listen to it in the dark while rubbing your left palm with your right thumb and eyes closed. I usually just go outside for that, but its winter. Unfortunately, most on youtube sound fake as hell or are destroyed by music. Every one on youtube starts with a loon call they dont make during a light rain. Living on a lake ruined the edited versions for me...

Hi Lexi, I suffered anxiety at the beginning of the first lockdown. I take the dog and daughter on long dog walks, exercise releases the good chemicals in your brain (as I’m sure you’re aware) you have to do it daily and get your heart pumping. Try running for a bit then walking, there’s a name for it but can’t remember it. I take vitamin D as we rarely see the sun in winter months. Board games, not cluedo but things like catan/ lords of water deep, helped me to focus on something other. If board games aren’t your thing learn something new like crocheting ( my niece learned from YouTube) good luck, we are here if you need support, you are not alone x

 

[LexiRae]

Everyone, thank you so much for all the information and kind words. I have taken notes and written literally everything down, from the mullein to the Wild Turkey and Thai massages. I really appreciate y’all and if I’m not checking in for a bit, now you know why.

A day at the range seems to do wonders for my angst.

A walk in the forest and a massive joint.

 

[lonewolf]

after some time spent amongst other people in a big town(I dont DO cities) I need to be alone.

@LexiRae , the only time in my life I was totally stressed out with lab-documented off-the-chart cortisol levels was after my Dad died and my brother in Seattle was trying to micromanage when/how I managed my mother's health long-distance. I was at my wit's end, with a wide variety of physical symptoms (including shingles) that were sending me to multiple doctors they could not explain with tests. I casually mentioned my anxiety and stress on a low-carb forum one day and a member I respected recommended something called Relora. I ordered some and started taking it (and did so for a year or so, until my brother passed away, actually. It seemed to really work (for me, at least) to "calm my nerves". Even my husband noticed I "had a shorter fuse" than what I had previously exhibited right after my father died. Might help you, might not. As I recall, it was around $10 a bottle? but that was 15 years ago and it may be more now.

The range is very calming for me as well. It’s just gotten too pricey to go often

I’ve never heard of it! Thank you! I added it to the list and will look into it today. I ordered a punching bag and gloves last night to up my workout routine bc I have noticed that the exercise seems to be helping quite a bit

My daughter takes the CBD whenever she is about to go nuclear on her kids, her husband or some poor schmuck engineer. She swears by it and even wanted me to take it over the last year when I was trying to wrap up my last projects and the govt kept screwing with me. I have no anxiety now... amazing how retirement does that for you.

I used to take therapy when Obama was Prez. When I felt the frustration building, I'd go buy a box or two of ammo. Eventually had to build a room to store it all. But it was far cheaper than a pshyrink and a great investment.

BTW, I forgot to add one detail to my previous bee youtube. Listen to it with good headphones. Once you recover from the initial heart attack, it's amazingly soothing.

Those of us in the UK don’t get anywhere near enough vitamin D, low levels caused me anxiety and depression I’m now on 8000iu a day for the last 2 years and I’m much better, also good for prevention of cold flu and covid

I am just curious. . . why not? Being outside is free and at least in my life, being outside for hours at a time is normal.

 

[Amish Heart]

I'm with you, have to be outside alot. If the sun is out in the afternoon, that's where I am this time of year.

Basically long dark dismal wet winters with a very limited amount of sunlight. We have had winters where it has virtually rained every day for two months solid. Our springs and summers can be equally dismal so there’s no way sunlight alone can produce enough vitamin d in our bodies. As I’m an agricultural contractor most of my spring and summer is spent in a tractor driving for up to 12 hours per day so not exactly out in the sun topping up my vitamin d levels

A trip to the range with some of my toys always helps me!

Works for me too!!!!

I guess if I lived in Wales, I'd learn to love the rain.

 

[lonewolf]

trying living in Devon its just as wet here.

 

[lonewolf]

I see calls to UK mental health charities have risen by 629% during the pandemic lock downs.

 

[Amish Heart]

Not surprised. If you're told your job is not essential, you can't support your family, you have to stay at home, and if someone you love is dying in the hospital you can't even say goodbye to them, you can't visit family or friends, even Christmas was "cancelled", many churches are shut down, and there's food shortages.

Most people can't handle that.

 

[lonewolf]

most people cant handle normal life.

 

[Oddcaliber]

most people cant handle normal life.

You got that right!
