Those who like… cant afford to be medicated, what do you do when you have bad anxiety? I had a real bad friend break up (x2) and now everything makes me anxious, my hearts constantly pounding and im shaking/shitting constantly 😞

Aw hunnn I’m so sorry. Hot take but cold showers bring your mood up. Gettngin when it’s cold is telling your brain you can do hard things and makes it a little easier to deal with anxiety. I won’t lie though medication helps a lot, maybe natural remedies ?

I feel this. I’ve never been medicated for anxiety, and I’ve lost a lot of my friends over the years. I think honestly the easiest thing for me to do is start small. You likely won’t find a new bff in a day, but even just complimenting a persons outfit or mentioning something they wear from a fandom or show you like could lead to a new friend! Also wear things that represent the things you enjoy so other people can hopefully notice those common interests too! I hope that helps a bit!

Walk a lot, do things to take my mind off, it’s worse if you’re not busy.

So real. I was lucky enough to have this scenic walking/biking trail near my place and I'd walk literally 8mi a day j listening to music or talking to my besties on the phone (mind u I was on winter break so I had the time to do that)
