Really I’m just asking what’s the best way to deal with anxiety, or if ignoring it to the point of ambivalence is unhealthy.
trigger warning: I do talk about anxiety and existential issues in my spoilers section
Tap for spoiler
After a week of doing edibles that are way too strong for me, my brain got a little rewired and my brain got rewired (nothing extreme just noticed how I feel about specific things have changed)
But I had a “time is a flat circle” moment with a my foster/adopted cat looking like my dead cat I had for 17 years and having to realize that I’m helpless to watch everyone grow old and die. Now that I’m sobering up I’m accepting it and moving on, but I think about “what’s the best way to tackle anxiety”
I feel like your title, text and spoiler are talking about three different things. There are many types of anxiety that can be tackled differently.
You already got good tips for most, so I’m going to concentrate on your spoiler text: When you are too high, I recommend chewing coffee beans. They act calming on those cases.
As for your existential anxiety: You might want to continue that train of thought to it’s conclusion: Eventually everything ceases to exist. Nothing is permanent. Everything is in flow. All that is, all that matters, is now. This moment. And all you need to do is live it.
