[Help] What's a good way to cure anxiety? Updates to this post /post/155578-whats-a-good-way-to-cure-anx Wed, 08 Oct 2008 02:09:06 +0100 Reply from elysium /post/155578-whats-a-good-way-to-cure-anx#reply-3680514 I don’t know if this will help but I have been in similar situations. I guess what you could do is take it one step at a time. For example if it is one person start off by saying Hi; then maybe ask how they are. Whenever you feel nervous just stop take a breath (don’t make it obvious) and then continue onto a particular subject. I find the following quite good:
Recent events in news
Music (especially)
Job and career
If you are with loads of people, possibly start a discussion or possibly just give small comments to what they are talking about. Then you can gradually add more to what you say.

I hope that makes sense

Set up a little tub with hot water and hang over the steam with a towel over your head till the nose is clear.(probably allready now it haha).

Just talking about it and hearing what I am saying is opening my eyes up to the underlying roots of the problem. I don’t suppose you have any good advice on curing a common cold quickly?

And also try to focus on your interests, the things you do, and less about what people might think or how they might react.
It just some kind of right flow that you get when you are amougst the right people and feel confident and at ease.

The more you get used to this feeling, the more you will be able to use it in any
situation.

You have to find a balance between being yourself and not being to vulnerable
to other peoples opinion, etc.

Well I don’t want to outgrow there interests because I still care about them(especially the one that causes the most anxiety-go figure eh?). I love to talk deep but I’ve never tried to talk deep with them maybe I should it could help-right?

I go to my dearest friends.

I have friends and they are all differend.
Some i go to club with, some I can talk with for hours.

The people I go to clubs with, well its mostly for fun,
we never talk about deep stuff, they just dont really care about that.
So thats what i expect of them.
Maybe youve outgrown them a bit by interests.

Just recently a close friend came over and I was afriad to be around him or talk and after he left I just felt terrible about myself and how I acted.

So when there around me that’s really all they talk about. They are friendly people most times but sometimes I get the impression they don’t want me around.

What are the people like that are around you ? (this matters)

Plus I have heaps to look forward too like a trip to Bali with my mum her friend and my sister. My only real issue now is my insecurities around people and my depressed friend that wants me too move town with her. I am sure once I find the reason for my anxiety I will feel much better about myself but it hasn’t been easy, I can’t think of what may have caused it or how to get rid of it for good.

As sad as that may sound it’s true. I guess I could work on boosting my self esteem that might help the situation.

They will notice and feel hurt that you couldnt trust them
Enough to tell them what was really going on with you
The best person ppl to help you are the once that know you

I cannot explain it someone I knew well came over the other day and I just freaked out! I couldn’t sit near them, talk to them, kept hiding upstairs and keeping myself preoccupied with meticulous cleaning and when they left I felt so bad because they had been trying to get my attention and I was too scared to give it.

But now i m some better. u can do this by greeting new ppl. talking to them in ur own style. just be urself and dont think abt others. If they have said u something. Soon they will forget it and also u must 4get it. try to be different. Join different activities like clubs. meet new ppl there and be frnds w/ them. Dont look for others that how they r looking at u. This makes confused. Just think there is no one. U r all alone. and do ur own things in ur own STYLE!!
I was a quite and always scared boy and was always nervous and confused wts gonna happen. I have a short height, this was the main reason of my complex but now i think that short height isnt a major issue. I just 4get infront of others that i m short and wear clothes which suite me and i m not mostly scared of others NOW.
I know i still have to do more to completely KILL my COMPLEX and i m trying on it.
U also try this all. I hope this’ll work.
