How do you deal with anxiety?

Post Reply New Topic

I'm on Buspar but it sometimes works sometimes doesn't. I'm supposed to be upping it to 15mg 3x's a day (up from 10mg twice a day) later this week but twice is morning and bed time and I feel NO AFFECTS in the morning. Worried upset stressed VERY EASY! Having to go get a job is stressing me out. Plus debating stuff with yourself. I know NTs do this too but IMO Aspies or at least for me I do it more. The failure "The job won't work can you even function socially to keep a job YOU SUCK!" To the positive "Hey if you act like Dexter the psychopath or The Doctor *insert hero" You may pull this off. But IMO how long can you fake a hero until you CRACK under the pressure WILL I crack under the pressure of a minimum wage job??? I don't know!! !! So stressful right now in my life!! !

Yet when the pills are working I feel freeing and am not thinking OF ANYTHING! No negative views of myself or hero worship stuff but is hero worship a bad thing??? Yet not having that voice negative or hero feels odd too since I CONSTANTLY have voice!

If it takes being like Dexter or The Doctor to function socially should I? I'm not 100% sure.

I'm thinking of taking up Yoga to help with anxiety outside of just the pills some form of exercise since I have a sedentary lifestyle playing video games. Yoga appealed to me since the relaxed breathing and different poses vs. strict walk X amount or run etc. Yoga is more relaxing and calming plus perhaps I could try to understand and master different poses.

Thanks WP.

I think if you can act like Dexter without crashing and burning, then go for it.

For all day use, I use an anti depressant and an anti psychotic. For high stress times I take diazepam. Diazepam is lovely - trouble is I have to be careful using it cos of its propensity for tolerance/addiction. But a couple of times a week, I know I can go into a high stress environment and function.
