Something that atleast lessens your anxiety??

[LonelyWonders]

For me, when I crack my neck it makes me slightly less nervous during a social situation. Also if I use hand sanitizer I feel better. Bother are used as something to calm me down after a direct social situation.

Anybody else have something like this??

Not a single thing. Alcohol is presented as the loosing up medicine, but it has no effects in my personality at all. I may be drunk like a fish (which happens rarely anyway) but I'll stay as shy as usual.

My solution is tunnel vision. Though, it can be very tiring. I mainly use it at work.

laughter is the best medicine

that and some mangosteen juice are supposed to cure everything

 

[Mokkat]

SSRIs, and/or alcohol. And they dont make a bad "cocktail effect" when mixed

Watch/read something that makes me laugh. Loosens you up physically, thus mentally.
Trying breathing techniques, muscle relaxation, etc. SINGING too. Helps. MUSIC too.

Neck twitching helps me too, although it might look weird.
Or taking a shower, to relax
Or find distraction, playing a video game, or have a nice chat with a friend.
Writing my things of my chest, or a good laughter like Coyote said, Always works! (well, in the right situation, ofc)

I like to either read or drive around listening to music. Both take my mind off of my worries.

muscle relaxing exercises and looking at the night sky away from city lights.

If anything, keeping to myself. Which kind of defeats the purpose, so... I can't think of anything.

 

[Kiwong]

Deep breathing, relaxing muscles. Praticising mindfullness. Changes in diet (reduce caffiene), exercise. Of course knowing I can go for a arun at the end of the day is a blessing

sometimes alcohol

 

[GhoulsNightOut]

Avoidance! hah...yes I know that's bad. Eating tends to help (I don't binge), it seems that kettle cooked potato chips work the best because I can't hear myself think over the loud crunchiness. =P Going for really long walks and just letting my minder wander helps too.

When I'm feeling really anxious, worried or stressed I have this sudden urge to go buy books. Somehow going to the bookstore and picking up a few books always makes me feel better. Not really a great thing to do as I already have to many books but it works. I also like to go to this park near my house and just sit and enjoy the quiet.

 

[popolala]

erm.. for me its when nobody is around, just 121 communication..
a joke lessons my anxiety......

if this person i am talking to is silly and shy like me...

 

[coyote]

sitting on my balcony, blowing bubbles.

[superfluouslyme]
