dont want to make this sound like venting, im genuinely looking for advice caus im going insane

for as long as i can remeber, ive always acted like i was in a fight for almost all my childhood, to give an example i would take stuff that was said to me very seriously and call my mom with my flip phone when someone spat on me (4th grade)

i could write these anomalies all day but i just wanna hear what yall think i should do, feels like im always on the edge and on thin ice.

ive gotten cortisol tests on a rushed morning and it came out to 435 nmol/l

ive also experimented with xanax with did make me feel much less stressed but it suppresses gh so be it- i might make a thread on jt later on

Cortisol is a survival hormone it goes up when your body is in shit condition to keep you alive, your cortisol is high because your baseline resistance to stress is low fix that first. You can do breathing exercises or meditation for this

If you want to break out of this cycle, you first need to stop overthinking

You can still grow just don't get hung up on everything unnecessarily. Whatever you're doing, you're doing it to yourself. Nobody cares if you get angry you're the one who suffers so stop doing this

everything is gonna be okay ^__^

overthinking isn't going to help, find the things that's stressing you out then try to find a solution. I tend to overthink a lot too but once you take a moment to breathe and actually think it gets easier. if you have a psychiatrist I would recommend bringing this up to them there's other anxiety meds that you can take besides xanz. anti psychotics too, (no they're not only for schizos) those minimize catastrophizing everything. but I'm not a doctor so I cant really rec any meds since everyone's different
xanz are good but they're really addictive that's why trying a different med(s) would prob be better

drinking warm stuff helps calm people so maybe try that (coffee, tea, etc etc)

idk if this helped but you got this vro :peepoLove:

im not looking for comfort either
 
ik what ur talking abt, getting new perspectives is good but not solving shit
its probably a mix of restrictive environment's, unsolved emotional issues, shit diet, improper mindset, lack of proper exposure to high stress scenarios in a healthy way, genetics etc. u bastard
