I have been suffering more in my mind than in reality recently. There’s simple tasks that i just have to do such as go to the gym, complete a task at work, grocery shopping, work on my project etc. i know i have to do these, yet i constantly ruminate, ponder, and debate with myself before doing these tasks. My brain is constantly on and it often makes me stuck and i end up doing nothing or half assing them. But today i had 4 pints of beer in the afternoon, tipsy enough to numb my mind but not drunk enough to not know what im doing. In this state, i completed all of my tasks for the day, and even completed tasks i had been putting off. It was one of my most productive days in recent memory. It honestly felt great, but i know i dont want to be a drug or alcohol addict but i love how they help me switch off my brain, stop acting like im in constant danger and calm down my anxiety completely. How can i achieve this state consistently without needing substances and without ruining my body? I think I’m suffering from massive general anxiety cause of what I’m going through in life rn and i know the answer to most of my problems lie in simply doing what i should, yet i hate that i love to sit and make everything a damn self discussion submitted by /u/FineProfessor3364
