time help: My anxiety problems are driving everyone in my life crazy.

Araz

My anxiety problems are driving everyone in my life crazy.

I try to stop myself from freaking out over minor things. It’s like if anything, even minor, doesn’t go exactly as planned, I panic.

But... I don’t have time to dedicate to a therapist, I do not want to go back on meds, and I’m having a hard time making myself go back to the gym to work off my stress.

How do you make yourself do something you don’t want to and how do you stop stressing over literally everything?

Going to the gym to vent your stress might put you in better physical shape but it still does not solve the source of what is causing your anxiety.
Personally, I'm usually against medications but there is a very rare time and condition for their use. In this case, you must make it a goal to determine what you believe the problem to be. The meds will give you the runway and "peace of mind" necessary to think things through. You may even want to contemplate a solution.
Then afterward, go back off the meds. There is, in life, a natural form of stress that no one can (or should) escape. But, when it becomes too overwhelming, we all need to get some help.
Lots of love dear girl.

I would look into cbd flowers.
It has all the benifits of weed without the paranoia .
Forget the oil.
Buy the flowers

I'm reminded of the poem, Anyway. It has been said to have been found hanging on the wall of an orphanage founded by Mother Theresa. It reads:

People are often unreasonable, illogical and self centered;
Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you've got anyway.

You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and your God;
It was never between you and them anyway.

So my suggestion to you @Araz is to just do it. Regardless of your fears, just do it. Do it.... Anyway.

Help me with:

We have another hurricane coming this way.

Maybe... I’ll think about it. That’s a really hard thing for me to do and I’ll have to find a therapist who is available on weekends or evenings. But I promise I’ll think about it.

Love you too!

Man... weed just puts me to sleep AND makes me nauseous. I’ve never heard of CBD flowers. I’ll look into it. Thanks!
