Stress

[GRIM]

Besides the gym how u manage it?

I was hitting gym hardcore now barley setting foot in it again

I am a planner--- I have to have plan A, and it's backed up with B-Z. I can keep falling back to the next plan until something works. I usually plan out months in advance.

So---- while the stress is there, I have backup plans to go to in case I hit a brick wall.

Very VERY rarely will I rely on someone to take the helm and steer the ship.....that terrifies me. I can think of only ONE instance in which I've done it.

I've been trying to quit smoking, stress/anxiety is my biggest issue. I have a lot of shit going on in my life causing that. Nicotine patches help until I feel overwhelmed then I need a cigarette.

I started taking vistaril for anxiety, which just made me too tired.

My dr is against benzos and Valium etc, he doesn't like prescribing addictive drugs. I was hoping I could be put on Xanax at a small dosage a few times a time.

Instead I was just put on Gabapentin, which is also referred to as Norentin or something. I'm on day one of that and basically he said start at 100mg 3x a day and work up my dosage as I feel necessary.

Does anyone take Gabapentin? If so tell me your experience on it.

Ive taken neurontin for trigeminal neuralgia. He gave it to you for anxiety? That's a bit odd. Be careful- it will zonk you out!!!!! It always knocked me on my ass!!!!

He didn't prescribe Ativan?

What about a vape? I have used that for 7 years now. Haven't touched a cigarette since I started vaping.

I have researched it online and it has many uses, ranging from nerve pain, anxiety, and headaches.

I'm just doing 100mg every 8 hours now. But I believe I need to do 200mg every 8 hours possibly 300mg every 8 hours. I read online it can cause issues with ejaculation.

Any neuro based med can cause erection issues along with MAOI and SSRI medications. Prami up and see if that helps!

I try not to let things stress me out, I usually just go with it. Things always work themselves out and getting stressed don't do anything to help it, all it does is make you miserable.

Thanks

i have never seen a bucket of stress

think about this.

stress doesnt exist. its not a material thing. it is in our heads and therefore can be controlled. in 99% of cases fear of fear, fear of stress is causing the very stress. self fullfilling prophecy. learn to give it, relax, come to terms with it, dont fight it

i can write a book about this but in short nobody has ever seen a bucket full of stress

I just go with it. My life is very stressful. IF I were to sit and consider the stress load I'd put myself over the edge. I just push forward and move around it. I have one of those jobs where my phone is always on however at the close of actual business everyday, I know how to turn my brain off. I focus on the kids and my beautiful supportive wife and can usually alleviate the stress levels and bring myself back into a happy place. Mrs. Lith is a very a giving woman in the sex department. This helps and music motivates me and can calm me down also.

I think we can all say there's something in our lives that can potentially cause stress.
I have a very full hectic schedule and if I was to let that stressed me out, i would be a miserable person.
So I just go with and know that things eventually work out, one way or another , as long as do my part.
Enjoy the good things and focus in that. I try to have a back up plan for Work and Gym because those are the ones that take up the most time and have to get done.
Everything else I take it as it comes, if plans fall thru, well who cares, it's not the end of the world. As long as I get to spend time with my family it doesn't matter we do or plan.

Nobody is right or wrong, it's a matter of how you look at the situation. My .02:

- Vaping, great alternative to smoking. You just need to find the right tools.

- I agree with the ativan or some low dosed valium. You want to be more capable of handling the stress, not sleeping all day.

- Over the counter, you can purchase GABA and low dose it yourself for anxiety and larger doses for sleep assistance in the evening. As an add on, phenibut can also be used, just don't use it every day. I personally will mix a small dose of GABA and phenibut for relaxation and increased sleep ability when under stress. Like valium and every other drug, even though these are bought over the counter, you can become dependent upon them.

- I have buckets for sale that will hold 10 gallons of stress 😀

Personally stress get me sometimes, but most of the time I don't let it as long as I can walk outside in the evening and escape the estrogen whirlwind in my house just for twenty mins im usually good. Thank god for work I put in my headphones and work it out all day no thinking just flowing. It's the Homefront that gets to be too much sometimes. I love my family but a wife, mom, and two daughters and moms dog who I hate sometimes I need all4muscles ten gallon buckets. Stress fucking sucks we just have to find our own way to deal with it constructively

Gabapentin @ 200mg every 6 hours seems to be working well for me. Also my libido increased. Some experience lower libido and some experience higher libido on this. I plan to continue another 3-4 days at this dosage and then decide whether to up to 300mg every 6 hours or stay at current. My dr said it's a guessing game.

i try to meditate regularly. prayer helps some too, but meditation is what's really key for me. and i just try to take some time to be by myself and relax at night.
