That doesn’t work
I was prescribed diazepam for anxiety (I was breastfeeding at the time)
Try not to take it as it is highly addictive and it doesn’t make problems go away, just numbs u to them
One thing that has helped is doing things WHEN I say I will do this
My mantra is I Will
No more I’m Gonna
Having good organised space around me is helping to have better organised thoughts and clarity. I can identify when my train of thought is spiralling into a negative tangent an literally nip it in the bud before it consumes me

Works for me... Breathing exercises are alway recommended for anxiety breh.
Anyone here ever get alopecia from stress aka hair loss? I had a heavy year 2017 very emotionally tasking due to family shyt and the end result is my hair has fallen in chunks which has never happened before. Started with a small bald spot and then more kept popping up. Shyt is hella frustrating. I'm looking at rocking a baldy in the winter now. 
I was really enjoying my free form dreads and tryna go full rasta but I gotta let it go.
I hope my girl still likes me
I've lost hair before due to stress but never this much smh...

Facts
Most people don't see these as real problems unless they have experienced what it feels like.
Talk therapy is great for this but even that costs money. I'd love to volunteer my time to people in need of a vent or chat because I know from experience sometimes it's easier to talk to strangers than your loved ones. Especially for men because showing vulnerability around women can often be difficult .
It's the worst because they will say things that don't help like "just think positive" or "cheer up" like don't you think we try this all the time?
I try slow breathing but I still freak out
I am super anxious. I used to take klonopin for it, but got too addicted.
Breathing exercises actually work though. I’m surprised by it actually

I rarely go out anymore, kind of have low self esteem about how I look. Lately I have been dealing with health scares and I’ll admit I’m in a depressed mode most of the time. Still dealing with my breakup hurts even more. I dealt with xans and percs and to help the pain but the post-drug depression hurts worse to be honest. I need to fix my life
Change that and start going out alot more

I'm not useless. But I feel useless and broken. I don't want to suffer anymore.
Sometimes talking to someone helps more than taking action.

May sound crazy but one of my secrets to feel better when I'm feeling down is bagpipe music:
Remember this is what people would listen to before and after major battles and shyt like that, it's designed to uplift. Yeah yeah yeah cac shyt whatever. I fux with it.
