Anxiety Coping Methods

Queen

I am looking for coping methods for anxiety.

I'm someone who is anxious all day every day.

I wake up through the night, hardly ever get more than three hours of sleep each night.

My brain can't stop working and thinking. Never gets any rest.

I was diagnosed with dermatophagia, where I bite and chew my fingers obsessively but unconsciously.

My fingers and one thumb are swollen, red, misshapen and get infections regularly.

I'm on the waiting list to see specialists and before I've had anti anxiety medication but nothing worked, made me feel worse.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Pray

  • I've recently found more evidence to the possibility of Autistic/ADHD having less GABA resistance. This means that while Anxiety is often a natural response to unnatural and harmful external factors, Autistics (who also cannot dull their senses and filter unwanted signals out as often as Non-Autistics) will experience higher levels of Anxiety due to potentially lower GABA levels. And it might even be psychological. 

    I've discovered that a mushroom "cocktail" I use isn't just good for memory and focus but also "levelling up" my GABA levels. Apparently certain foods can also help, but This could be something to have your GP check? 

    You can do a search for a Mushroom Compound and see if it helps by following the suggested dosage. They're a source of Vitamin D as well, so make sure you're not overdosing by taking a large dose of D every day along with these.

    That is possible, I do have psychological problems  nothing serious but I do have difficulties.

    Thanks. I'm hoping to see my gpthis week so I'll mention it when I do. 

    Do you have any recommendations on foods I could try in the meantime? Slight smile

    In the meantime I look up the mushrooms compound.
