Really stressed. Dont know what to do

Get off the internet for a couple of weeks, your stress levels will go down. Everything is pretty negative out there on the net. Spend some time in the sun, do some yard work and gardening. It will work itself out OP.

Let it guide you to enlightenment.

Everyone dies alone with their thoughts and their self.
Self is the glass, thoughts are the changing mixing liquids from everything but you

the border of thought and self is belief and where "successful action" is borne

Use the opportunities to learn to recognize the difference

Rorschach, what a nice thing to say!!!

Lot of great advice on here, OP. Wise to follow some of these ideas. I'll add a few thoughts:

I agree that the spiritual component is really key as well. Step up your prayer life in a big way.

How you go about that is up to you and your particular faith. Consider increasing spiritual disciplines that are part of your faith life. For a Catholic, that might mean daily Mass, Rosary, Bible reading, prayer, etc. For other faiths, it might be different. I also agree about taking very good care of your physical health with regular exercise, good nutrition, etc.

There are 7 main areas of your life - Social, Spiritual, Physical Fitness, Mental, Financial, Career, and Family. I'd add another category - Fun.

You need to work on being well rounded and set goals in all of these areas to stay balanced. Don't go overboard in any one category. So, that means if you are working too many hours, and not getting enough exercise, you need to right-size that equation. Everything in moderation and balance is a key to staying energized, happy, and less stressed.

Going Carthusian for a week or two is not a bad idea. That might mean a break from electronics, a weekend retreat in the wilderness, or just some regular time set aside every day to shut out the world for a couple hours to read, meditate, listen to some uplifting music, pray, etc. Make this time of peaceful tranquility a daily habit, and put it on your calendar.

During a really trying time in my life, I went to a Latin Mass early every morning before work for about a year. The rest of my working day was a breeze by comparison. Don't ask me how that happens, but it did wonders.

Its getting to us all friend. Try to take time for yourself as much as possible and dive into some distractions when you can.

Talk to people around you. You are never alone in this world.

This too shall pass.

Wow i think you might be right there.

STOP DOOMSCROLLING.

Read the Book of John. It's God's love letter to man.

.

No, dont practice these vain repetitions that Jesus warned against

Join the club. Most good folks are feeling this way. Better get used to it because the weak are about to lose it. Except it and get ready, there's more to come.

Gabapentin? I took that shit for a while for a herniated L5S1 disc...that crap kept putting me to sleep so I stopped taking it.

Become mentally prepared for what is coming. Some of us have had a lifetime doing this. But, you can expedite the process.

Don't forget that you are just visiting here. You are a backpacker on a crazy blue rock flying through space. Take in the sights. Learn what you can. Share some wisdom. Most importantly, don't stay in one place too long and keep your load light.

Peace.

Agreed, OP. Take today for example.

Ordered some furniture but it was delivered with no instructions and no hardware. Like wtf.

Many times high blood pressure can stir up anxiety.
Go and take your blood pressure morning, and night
If you have hypertension like 143 / 93 no big deal
Now if it’s 165/75 over 105/ 15 - could be the reason

Drink a bear wine until you are buzz
If you feel better check your blood pressure
Goes down


Conclusion - your mind is very powerful and is causing the fight/response being triggered

Remedy - start running, lessen the salts

^This.

And find a good psychologist. Easily treatable.

start with meditation. It will give you inner balance regardless of your outer world

It's helps to realize that every single one of the shitbags destroying the world (and our lives) are going to burn to ash.

God promised it and I totally and completely believe Him.

Meanwhile defend yourself (and family) to the best of your ability, and praise God every day for the justice that IS coming.

Here is something I posted elsewhere. She suffers from severe depression and anxiety.

weed or gummies

Did not know god wrote love letters to men,

But it does not surpride me....

Anything with gaba...from lemon balm tea to green tea etc

So true.

Deep breathing is healthy.

This is the time to be close to nature and the animals. Take time to be outside. Go for a walk in the Sun. Smell a flower. Hug a Tree. Plant something. Take time to be with your pets. If you don't have any volunteer at a shelter.

Get off Social Media and turn off the TV. Only interact with those around you who are positive and happy. If you are close to your family spend enjoyable time with them. If not then cultivate some positive and loving friendships.

Drugs and alcohol. Party like it's 1999 all over again.

Move to a conservative small town and know that if tshtf people will block the roads to it and dig in. Then enjoy the park, forests, get a plant. Play an instrument. Kaisen your house or kondo it.

'Come to me, all of you who are anxious and heavily burdened, and I will give you rest.'
_Jesus Christ


You are anxious be cuz you are a guilty sinner,separated from God,and if you die, you are going to Hell.

You need to fix this.
And then you will have real peace for the first time in your life.

Get a bible and read the book of John. Then read Psalm 51 and pray that prayer to God on your own behalf.

Repent and put your faith in your Savior. He will change your life and heart.
