it runs in my family, ive always been weird in certain situations, i can get sweaty and nervous if i have to meet someone somwhere or be somwhere at a certain time......or whenever im expected basically...

somdays its worse than others and i think ive only had an "attack" once and that was pretty damn unpleasant....although im always nervous for no reason

ive chewed my nails from ever since i can remember, only because its what i do when im nervous....well im sick of being embarrassed and ashamed of doing that and ive tried, well i HAVE stopped and im freaking out lol!!....i guess u can compare it to smoking or quitting any addiction....i know it sounds weird but its hard....but means alot to me to do, its like a personal thing i guess?

i dunno why i posted this? i guess im weird....but yeah, im all fidgety and i dont know what to do....and i cant look at pr0n at the moment

anyways, thx for listening?

 

nah im not bad w/ it or anything.....just the constant nerves.....nothing like me wiggin out or spazzing....just anxious all the time, like the feeling you get before a big date or a major first impression, its like that more often than just being normal...and somtimes for no reason at all

but this whole nail biting thing is what im trying to get over, lol....ive been chewin on gum most of the evening, bleh. lol

 

Have I suffered from anxiety? Hell yeah, I suffer from damn near everything. Too much football, wrestling, SCUBA , skydiving and car crashes in a former life. I even rode a bull and a saddle bronc in a rodeo once (VERY short rides). Take it from someone who can barely reach his shoestrings to tie them sometimes. If there's no physical pain involved, move on to the next problem. Short fingernails are no problem...all 9 of mine are short.

Seriously though, anxiety is a bitch. I used to dismiss it as so much bullshit from some wimptoids. However, after having gone a round or two with it later in life, I can see that it can be a real problem. Thank goodness that my episondes, maybe all of three of them, have only lasted about a day each. But that was enough for me. If it's an everyday kind of thing, I'd say definitely get a little professional help.

 

I think everyone has mild anxiety at times and it isn't fun. Whenever I start feeling like that, I step back (mentally of course), take a deep breath and try to concentrate on other things for a while. However, I do not try to focus on all of the other problems/drama going on in my life. If I did, there would be soft spoken large guys waiting for me at my front door with one of those really nifty white jackets for me to wear. They would put me in their wonderful van with the wall to wall apholstered rear compartment and drop me off to my own padded room to be medicated into oblivion.

 

I dont get anxious all too much, stress is a different monster and thats fun

 

A good friend of mine has infrequent anxiety attacks, and has seen a professional, and is now on a Xanex prescription, seems to help him out quite a bit...
