I have OCD and this book was very helpful. The ideas probably apply to generalized anxiety as well

Meditate, stupid. Look up a guided meditation. In a decade, meditation will be a commonplace as lifting. Everyone in this thread recommending something else is a cuck who doesn’t even meditate.

Bro, how am I supposed to get rid of your anxiety with a chemical engineering degree?

[Anonymous No.10314965]

Meditation has allot psuedo spirital garbage attached. Neural feedback, trans- cranial direct current simulation, and mdma, nicotine and beta- blockers are the way to go on the chem- side

You annexed society and now you have anxiety.
Simply put, all you need do is find a group that makes you feel like you belong or become content with yourself.

Sci doesn't recognize psychology or any other discipline that could help you as science. Therefore it is all mumbo and you need to help yourself because the answer is obvious and your genetics is garbage. Next time please help yourself with the obvious way and stop posting unscientific ritualism and shamanisms here. We are after all scientists and not some bored housewives.

Get a broom and clean your shit.
It is hard to get to it, but once you get started, it is a very calming activity. Plus, having a neat apartment is quite satisfying.
If that does not work, go take a walk or read about something that interests you (even anxiety).

The solution depends on each person. I've tried many tricks and nothing got rid of it entirely. Except when I read an article that concluded that being neurotic is the root cause of depression, loss of memory, addiction, schizophrenia and many other mental ills. After I thought on this article I got an epiphany or something like it, and like that I've never felt social anxiety ever again.

Ignore what most of the people on this board are telling you... they're not actually trying to help you, they're only trying to signal how oh so smart they are.

You should look up cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)... read up on it... if you have the money or insurance, try to find a therapist in your area who does it, and go there.

Realize that your brain is often not your friend... what happens is...
Something triggers your anxiety, which is not only mental, but physical reaction, your heart races, you sweat... and those things then feedback to your brain again... making you even more anxious... your brain says "oh look, we're getting anxious signals, we should be anxious". But it was all just triggered by a faulty (ot, not faulty... but overly heightened threat detection response)...

[Anonymous No.10315317]

>>10315314
So, you have to realize that your brain is an asshole... you need to try very hard to step back away from your brain... and see the "feelings" you are having not as YOUR feelings... but as the signals of your brain. Look at them as an observer would... try not to feel them, but observe them.

Even if that were true, there is overwhelming evidence that personality is influenced by environment far more than genetics. So enough about garbage genes. Your genes are only garbage if they impair your ability to think and survive.
