Someone here

No smoking and taking the medications.. Resting and avoiding stress..extra sleep. That's the recovery program.

Ok. Although I wasn't talking about that.. I was saying you have no idea what happens to consciousness after death of the body.. If that makes sense

I picked up the smoking habit once again. And I'm binging on it. That is playing essential role in the anxiety. It's absolutely destroying me and it's time to stop for real and save myself. I will start counting days. 30 days of no smoking starting from today Day 1

@Preety_India absolutely. Your family should take extra care of you while battling suicidal thoughts. This is serious. But also if they don't.. Don't let that let you down. Fight for your own sake. Not for anyone else.

@Preety_India I feel you. I wasn't taking mental illness seriously untill I started to suffer from some anxiety. It's truly awful and can make one hopeless. But I know you can make it to the other side if you put on the effort to get better as I'm trying to do so. I wish you to live a long happy life with peace in your heart!

So I will be taking the medications.. Abliify. Clonazepam. Zyprexa.

@Preety_India thanks.. That's right . Deep breathing seems to calm the body. Do you take any medications? I'm starting to take (clonazepam) and (Abliify). The therapist prescribed me these two. Try them. Maybe they can help you.

If anyone have tips or effective medications. Please feel free to post me.

Symptoms.. Heavy breathing. Fast heart beat. Body shaking. Verge of panic attack. Depression. Restless.

Happines is neither inside nor outside.

@NondualesStudium The love that's meant is everything supposedly.. Then call it everything.. Why call it love? Lol. Anyways this is just a word game after all lol

Love is a human emotion. It's opposite is hate. It's far from being everything. That's a silly way of looking at the world. And completely unobjective.

You obviously don't know that my man.

What tips and medications help with easing panic attacks (mild) and stress?? Still experiencing worry.. Anxiety.. Stress. Sometimes i find my heart beating fast and a little shake in my fingers.. Not for any special reason.. But sometimes I find my mind wondering into scenarios like "what if something bad happened to me".. "what happenes when I die".. Etc and stuff from this ilk.

@Leo Gura .few questions please........ . How to define enlightenment such that you can say 'the person is and that person isn't enlightened' ? It's not like a scientific term that has a clear definition.. like an oxygen atom (an atom that contains exactly 8 protons)... You consider yourself enlightened because you are conscious of certain things and you judge other teachers as 'weak sauce' or not enlightened enough because they don't meet your criteria.... And I consider my own truths that I'm conscious of to be the highest and I do see others who can't get what I'm saying as idiots and so forth (just like you do)... So isn't there different degrees of enlightenment and they are all valid??... And who's to say what's the highest?... After all.. What good is telling people 'you are God and you are hallucinating the entire universe'.. People just wanna eliminate suffering and feel good... Isn't 'the highest enlightenment' itself relative?

LOL

So far.. Death and hell for the most upvotes. Keep Goin........ Here's what I am afraid of..... Death. Hell. Insanity. Loneliness. Pain. Poverty.

Usual societal work is not as exhausting if you have enough self-care. I do think there is a point when lack of self care and trying to do it all drains you so you do nothing well.. or most problematic for me drains me to the point that I can do only one thing well… keep working and moving. And even more problematically I was always rewarded for this work by everyone.

What's that? (the ultimate one)?

Lies.

you just gave me an idea lol... @Sahi96 oh man.. I wish I could help. You. Maybe @mandyjw have something to say about that..... I'm not familiar with the bible (I never was religious as well ). But I do know that entire Bible is BS. Reading genesis was enough for me lol.

What is left is exactly the same thing. Minus the label (without a name).

Lemme ask...how is my physical flesh that I can touch and see a 'thought process'?

@Gesundheit Chill out. Either the whole Bible is BS and you should not Believe it.. Or everything in the Bible is correct. And since you are convinced that 99 % is BS.. Then you should know with your rational part of your brain that even that 1% about hell and punishment is also BS. That fear is not 'rational'.. Meaning it's not based on evidence.. It's a result of religious conditioning which is literally a brainwashing process.

Me too. This idea of eternal suffering scares the living shit out of me. Not with you on this notion of 'mistakes'. This just comes from a religious background. There are no such things as 'mistakes' as in 'sins'. You'd have to be extremely non-objective to look at the world via that lens. Of course there is no one-fits-all answer. We could share... Fear of being hit by a car while crossing the highway is healthy because if you didn't have that kind of fear, you could kill yourself. While fear of cats or pets might be considered unhealthy for lack of commonality.
