Does anxiety distract you when you're gaming?

Only in 2D sonic water levels.

where do you think you are?

>hugging the pillow

It did. But then I got rid of the bitch in my life and everything is good again

Dying off probably would be the better option so you're right that those times were better.

My violent ex tried to force their way into my home two times in the past week, so now I'm hunkering down in basement and playing vidya while waiting for it to pass hopefully. I have plenty to be anxious about and video games help distract me.

It's true though, people nowadays like to dunno their problems of anxiety so it's not their fault they can't deal with life. Ironically they seem to only grow a spine when said anxiety is questioned

this is what sheltered people who want to act mature actually believe.

I know someone with anxiety who regularly deletes her family and friends on Discord, Facebook and on her phone. You wouldn’t think she has anxiety or gets panic attacks due to how cheerful and happy she is most of the time but every now and then she just breaks down into a mess it’s crazy and I fully believe that if she had lived even just 200 years ago she would’ve died early

yes. I haven't been able to finish a game in over a year because of it. I just get distracted by my thinking and end up making myself feel bad and I stop playing

Do drugs help with your anxiety?

I can't use voicechat because of it

LOL DUDE but actually yes. Call me a degenerate but cannabis was instrumental for the development of my social life as I was so socially anxious until my early 20s that I was completely retarded and incapable talking to others without being obviously terrified of their impressions. Weed made that feeling go away so I managed to break the ice and after a few years I am perfectly capable of socializing completely sober.

pot wont but doing daily chores and exercising will

I have GAD and a bit of social anxiety and take meds for it. I almost jumped off a bridge and the cops came and took me away and I had to spend a week in a psych ward. I see a therapist once a week and I'm seeing my psychiatrist tomorrow. I'm 27 and I had my first kiss last year, and the longest I ever dated someone was three months which happened last year as well

I also have a family that loves and supports me, and a small group of friends that seem to genuinely like me (which my anxiety makes me question but logically I can look at it and see that they probably actually like me), and I have a job I make good money at and am good at. I'm successful in social situations and get along well with strangers

The worst part of all this is that I spent a large chunk of my life alone, suicidal, depressed, socially incapable, and that I spent a lot of time and energy into improving myself so that I could reach this place in my life that others seem to effortlessly achieve. So now that a third of the way through my life, I'm finally starting to get to a point resembling normality and good social health, I've got faggots on the internet and in real life telling me "lol you don't have REAL anxiety bcuz you look so happy and good at life". Yeah faggot I've buried my issues so deeply that the mask I wear is now fused into my face and I live in constant fear that I'll be discovered for the freak I am and that everyone will leave me, but no you're right I don't have "real" anxiety you armchair psychologist fuckface

But yeah vidya helps to distract me sometimes

That I have none of that?

>Do my friends even actually like me or just put up with me
>Did this diploma mean anything or did I just waste years of my life on something that makes me miserable
>Will my girlfriend leave me if I don't get better. I wouldn't blame her if she did, I don't deserve to be happy
>Is my cat the only thing keeping me tied to this world. What will happen when it dies, will I lose my will to live
>I shouldn't be eating these cookies they're making me fat, I'll be even uglier than I am now, but they're the only thing that gives me any semblance of enjoyment

Fuck :/

You sound like a fag

They wouldn't do jack shit in my situation though. The cops here are hicks who don't give a damn about stalkers/domestic abuse unless it's a guy stalking a girl.

For everyone with depression, the easy way out other than doing something to distract yourself would be to pass time with someone else, things like that gave me a huge confidence boost when I was younger. Doesn't necessarily has to be a woman, anyone who you know could help, hell you can even share your problems with the other person. We are all gonna make it

>this comic

Hits too close to home. I can't sleep at all without noise or light. I'm never anxious at any other time at any point in my life but sleep.

>goals achieved

>tea and cookies

>Made my depression and anxiety (diagnosed and medicated not a faggot self diagnosis) a meme with the few retards i'm friends with
>It got to the point where the meme mask meme became reality
I honestly think i fucked something up in my brain because of doing that for years but right now i have a meme job and can leave the house without melting down in crowds.
I still consider crawling out of a on and off NEET lifestyle that lasted around 2-2.5 years my biggest achievement ever.
The biggest advice i could ever give and wish someone had given to me that psychiatrist are people, so you will get some absolute fucking retards but the difference between me in high school and me on meds right now is night and day.

He's right about those drugs making you want to do nothing. I got off it after a month and gave back the pills because staring at the ceiling was an actual good part of my day with no boredom.

I have a bachelor's but nothing in something guaranteed without a gift of gab or being a girl. I'm staying afloat but dealing with animals was a terrible industry to get into because people can't comprehend a guy wanting to work with them, even if skilled and educated. I should've saw this coming with guys getting kicked out of child daycare by default.

That was the worst part for me to, i still smoke but its under some strict limitations cause when you get the the point where you think why bother with anything when i can just sit high in my room and still have a good time you are in a bad spot.
Also the problem with weed and mental illness is that some strains can have a positive effect but most will just amplify the anxiety and in some cases will just make your depression worse if you get stuck in the get high to feel not suicidal cycle.

>good friends
yeah, I like to think so. They frequently frustrate me (and I frustrate them back), but they have been loyal for many years now
>tea and cookies
erm.. I guess I have some tea in my house. Cookies are usually a luxury I shouldn't waste money on, but I guess I could go and buy a cheap packet if I cared enough, so I'll give you that.
>Pet happy to see you
I am taking care of 2 cats for someone else. Granted it was supposed to be for 3 months, not it's already the 6th month with no end in sight, so might as well call them my own. And they are only happy to see me because that means they will get fed and have my lap to sleep in.
>someone who loves you
used to have that, lost it, still in love with that person. I have a girl just for casual sex, but she openly tells me she dislikes me, she just visits me for the D. I guess that fine, I don't really like her back either, but I like her naked body.
>goal achieved
HAHAHAHAHA PLEASE EUTHANIZE ME

Imagine being so mentally ill that you need drugs to keep you functioning.

>distracts self with vidya movies tv and mindless interwebs surfing
>not a care in the world
>turn everything off
>suddenly starts thinking about stuff once all said distractions are eliminated
>WOAH I MUST HAVE ANXIETY DISORDER
