4 Tested Habits That Will Keep Your Anxiety at Bay The 4 suggestions below aren’t band-aids you simply throw on that one time before continuing to happily paddle towards the next precipice. I don’t want to go full Gordon Ramsay here (feels kinda good though) but this is stuff you should be doing consistently, and over a longer period of time, or...

It’s not always You - the World can make you feel unwell too 20/01/2021

📯NEW POST📨

Mental health is a collective issue, inseparable of the society in which we live in... and we should start acting that way:

It’s not always You - the World can make you feel unwell too There’s those of us on the introverted side, who tend to be more sensitive and agreeable, and who have a tough time adapting to the aggressive entrepreneurial commandments of our age. And unless we figure out how to turn our sensitivities into some kind of a product, we’re made to feel pretty da...

On Meaningless Feelings of Guilt The curse of poisoning oneself with endless amounts of self-produced venom is something that seems overwhelmingly common, and yet we hardly ever allow ourselves to draw it into the spotlight.

Achieving your goals is important. But so is living your life. 15/10/2020

Yes, achieving your goals is important. But so is living your life:

https://thatanxiousdude.com/home-tad-com/achieving-your-goals-is-important-but-so-is-living-your-life

Achieving your goals is important. But so is living your life. All these commandments aren’t abstract ideals, they’re brute, clear-cut instructions. Success is defined in simple metrics - you’ve got to do better today than you did yesterday, and everything you do should be carefully measured.

Dietary supplements are a hypochondriac’s best friend 04/10/2020

NEW POST!

If you're a Hypochondriac, you might think dietary supplements are your best buds.

You might wanna think again:

Dietary supplements are a hypochondriac’s best friend The gravitational pull between supplements and hypochondriacs gives other cosmic powers a serious run for their money.

Feel a bit crappy? Go for a walk:

Feel sh*tty? Go for a walk Yes, I know what you’re thinking, you’re not 80 years old, so you’re most definitely not going to go for a fu***ng walk, besides, you’ve got things to do, people to see, shows to watch, kids to raise, partners to satisfy and litter boxes to clean.

Anxiety and the Fear of Death 28/09/2020

All fears can be challenged... Even the Fear of Death:

Anxiety and the Fear of Death It looks exactly how you’d think it would look; a decrepit little shack sitting in the middle of an abandoned theme park, with nothing but eerie silence...

You want to unwind, you want to be less neurotic, you want to feel better.

Living through the pandemic as a hypohondriac - thatanxiousdude 26/04/2020

Turns out, there’s a twist when it comes to hypochondriacs and pandemics.

Living through the pandemic as a hypohondriac - thatanxiousdude I’m not trying to say I’ve suddenly become anxiety free. I could still win the olympic gold medal in worrying without breaking a sweat, but present fears seem to be centered more around my parents and the post pandemic economy, than the virus itself.
