Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Community Guidelines

By following these rules, we can maintain a diverse and informative community. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to the moderators. Thank you for contributing responsibly!

Warning signs? .... sometimes I feel like this on a regular basis.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 6 months ago (1 children)

1 4 5 7 and 8 are baseline behavior for me. Maybe I'm just an anxious person.

[–] rockSlayer 9 points 6 months ago

It could also be autism. Those are also signs of ASD

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 months ago

Exactly. Feels like a list of post COVID era life changes.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago

Yeah is this not just how everyone feels

[–] [email protected] 29 points 6 months ago (2 children)

What about rage quitting your job, binge drinking and a total loss of interest in all activity?

Congrats you’re major depressive!

On more serious note please get in with a therapist and psychologist to get treatment. It’s not like a viral cold, it’s like a bacterial infection that won’t get better on its own without treatment.

You could have depression if this video applies to you: https://youtu.be/XiCrniLQGYc?si=zhW2zJmjXl8Rb0lT

thank you, now I'd like a guide on what to do next please... 🥺

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Medication and therapy were life changers for me. You may not find the right med or the right therapist on your first (second, third, etc) attempts, but I’m glad I kept pursuing both. Medication doesn’t have to be permanent, but if you’re like me and your baseline is incredibly anxious and has been since you were small then you might just need it.

If you’re LGBTQ+, definitely consider therapy with someone through an LGBT health center if you can. If there isn’t one near you, teletherapy has made it way easier to find competent LGBTQ+ positive therapists.

I was more interested in how to accompany people going through anxiety, but your answer was very interesting nonetheless

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

my 2 cents is to help distract them, especially with exercises, anxiety is build up energy/stress, you need to eliminate that energy

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

lol, sorry for misinterpreting it!

[–] BreadOven 24 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

Haha this infographic is dumb. Everyone feels like this 100 % of the time.

.........right........?

/S just so no one thinks I'm actually serious. Don't want to offend anyone.

[–] BowtiesAreCool 8 points 6 months ago (1 children)

The three on the right pretty much all the time.

[–] BreadOven 2 points 6 months ago

Yeah. A good portion of the ones listed are a constant. It kinda sucks, doesn't it? Haha.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 months ago

Everyone here be like "But this could also be a sign of XY". Of course that's right, but that's not the point. The point is realizing when the people you are with, friends, family, whatever, are in discomfort. It's about developing a sensitivity about it. You may not believe it, but many people who have not experienced these issues themselves, it's really hard to tell.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Most of these are signs of being restless or bored... This isn't necessarily anxiety.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 months ago (3 children)

Sounds a lot like autism. I tick all these boxes but am not particularly anxious.

[–] flicker 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Came to say ADHD. Maybe the neurotypicals just misread anything "different" and lump it together?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

They usually do

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

Interesting, seems to make more sense to me too. Largely because i have anxiety issues, and it feels more fight or flight (mostly flight) as opposed to the above.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Brooo same! I went out with friends last friday and we hung out at walmart. And i was thinking about what bag of chips i wanted and a family freind came over and said hi and i zoned back in. And my friends asked what happend you took like 20 seconds to realize what was going on around you. The anwer was ruffles :D and i explained to my friends that i just kinda zone out in tought lmao.

My wife starts watching old animes she has watched 100 times and then starts a panic attack shortly after.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

outside of needing more reassurance and not making future plans this is me every day.

[–] eran_morad 1 points 6 months ago

[–] SomeGuy69 3 points 6 months ago
