RE: How Often Are Your Symptoms Caused by Anxiety?

in #science7 years ago (edited)

Is your mind less overanalytical or are you actively suppressing negative thoughts that will come back to haunt you later on? Not trying to be mean, I just don't agree that a self-imposed positive perception is the way to go. All these drugs you seem to be using can seriously mess up your system, and anxiety will get worse in case you decide to stop (or need to stop for health reasons).

Thank you. You are right about not complaining and start being more active, trying to improve yourself as much as you can as well as accepting yourself with your flaws. I'm not against trying drugs or new experiences, but one has to be very careful since with prolonged use they can seriously alter your brain chemistry. Keep in mind though, falling in love is also, technically, a drug. Your brain reacts the same way as with drugs and gambling, releasing dopamine, as well as adrenaline and norepinephrine, which give you the feelings of anticipation, pleasure, excitement and infatuation. As with any high, it will at some point drop and by then you need to make sure you don't hook to something new and unhealthy. It's better to "train" your brain t activate the same reward system for healthier activities such as sports, or a hobby. Brain hacks ;) Have a good day!
