Managing Anxiety When You Literally Cannot Leave Your House

Tips to overcome your immense feelings of debilitating anxiety on a day to day basis.

I’d just like to start this post by saying that I am not a medical professional. If you have debilitating feelings of anxiety inside of you, these are tips that worked for me to be able to still go to work, eat, and leave my bedroom. If you are suffering from something similar to what is detailed in this blog post, if you are able, please talk to your doctor and see what type of help you can get.

----

I’m outgoing and I’m fun in an office environment. I can talk to strangers on the street without being worried about it. I’m probably considered somebody who is pretty socially apt on the outside. That is why it is so hard for me to talk about anxiety.

There was about a 2 year period in my life where every time I knew I had to leave my house, I would feel overwhelming feelings of needing to trap myself indoors because I was terrified to even show my face outside in fear of having to strike a conversation with somebody that I knew from work, school, or even my friends who didn’t like me.

It got so intense that it impacted my ability to work, get groceries, or go to school. Eventually leading me to drop out of university and cut hours at work, which leads to less income, which leads to more anxiety. A very fun cycle to find yourself in your late teens and early twenties!

Overcoming these feelings, I’ll admit, is something that I still struggle immensely with.

I’ve always been worried about things like this, I wasn’t able to eat in school when I was growing up and would never bring a lunch to elementary, middle, or high school because I was too scared of others thinking that I was fat. Whenever my family would laugh at anything, I would start crying and run away as a child because I assumed that they were making fun of me. I couldn’t leave my bedroom in houses I lived in because I was too scared of not knowing how to act when I saw my roommates.

Those were feelings of anxiety, that I now realize.

How do we silence feelings like this? Here are my small pieces of advice that may be able to help you at the beginning of your journey towards healing. These are some things that I would do daily to be able to still provide for myself.

Tell one person the full truth

If you can find one person to be completely honest within what is going on in your life. Even if this is a new person who you meet on a dating app, being unequivocally honest about yourself is going to help you accept who you are and feel more comfortable in your skin.

I’m not suggesting you open a conversation with “Hey, I have crippling anxiety issues”, but just ensuring that you are being your fullest version of yourself will help you understand yourself better.

Telling anybody about my anxiety was something that I wasn’t able to do until years after those feelings had dulled down within me. It is hard to express how severe your negative thoughts are, especially when you’re perceived as an extraverted person.

“Who Told You That?” - Observe your thoughts

When your head is overrun with thoughts that are anxious ask yourself “Who told you that?”, the answer, will most of the time be “nobody”.

Say, for example, you feel anxious because you heard two of your co-workers talking together and laughing, and your thoughts tell you that they’re laughing and gossiping about you and not talking about the billion other things there are to talk about in the world.

Step back, recognize your thought, and think to yourself “who told you that?”. Your mind loves to trick you into thinking that you are less powerful than you are, and identifying that your thoughts are only thoughts is an important part of your journey towards healing.

Imagine your thoughts being spoken to you by a person outside of yourself or a bird on your shoulder. I always visualized my thoughts as being inside of my brain, which means that they were trapped there. If you imagine your thoughts as a separate entity with all of the characteristics of your thoughts, you will be able to organize your thoughts into productive and useful information, and negative space-filling thoughts. I’d recommend the book The Untethered Soul by Michael Singer to anybody who’d like to learn more about this practice.

Wear a style that you don’t typically wear

This is very weird. But this is something that helped me leave my house on days when I was feeling tremendously anxious. I would put together outfits that were completely out of the ordinary for what I would typically wear. This helped me convince myself that if somebody saw me on the street, they wouldn’t know who I am. Or even better, because I was dressed so differently than I regularly do, they’d be intimidated by my (fabricated, at the time) self-esteem and would never come anywhere near me.

Pull your craziest and whackiest clothing out of your closest and throw it all together into one outfit and you’ll feel brand new, and like nobody you know will recognize you!

Wired Headphones and Sunglasses

Headphones with wires can be a saving grace. Even if I wasn’t listening to anything at all, I wore them everywhere that I went in order to ensure that nobody would speak to me or think to approach me.

Sunglasses are also a great way to ensure that nobody talks to you. It makes you look mysterious. PS. Walking briskly makes you look even more mysterious and cool.

Unusual Hours

Wake up! It’s 5 am! Time to go to the grocery store (and only buy nonperishable food items that I didn’t have to cook so that I would never need to see my roommates in the kitchen)!

Getting up early, and staying up very late helped me because I knew that at those hours it was going to be rare that people I knew were awake. I was able to feel a complete feeling of solitude and not being overwhelmed by the thought of other people’s presence or activity.

Though it left me very exhausted and in the need for constant naps, it was worth it for me to be able to go on walks and get outside of my bedroom.

----

Thank you for reading this post and I hope that it provided you with some helpful insight on how to function as a human a bit better when you are feeling immense feelings of anxiety. I’d like to state again that I am not a medical professional by any means, and these are not a solution to issues of anxiety.

Managing COVID-19 Anxiety

[thecpdiary]

Managing anxiety

I deal with anxiety because I deal with autism. It is made worse because my emotions are also impaired through extensive damage to the cerebral cortex, brought about through cerebral palsy, which is the primary cause of my autism. Anxiety is something I manage.

If anyone has a history of mental illness, then anxiety is not something they can completely control either. If you’re a worrier, then there is every possibility you will take control of your anxiety, but that will depend on how you deal with your worries. Everyone manages anxiety differently.

Looking back on my experiences, I am struggling to get my head around the fact that my issues with anxiety as a child were known, and nothing was ever done about it.

For those of us who manage anxiety, it’s not something we will take control of. There is a big difference between overcoming anxiety and managing it. Managing anxiety is something we control through things like exercise and meditation, deep breathing, or through medication to bring symptoms under better control.

Since anxiety is a chronic illness and there is no cure, it’s how we are able to manage it. The best way to manage anxiety is to learn to address our worries, our feelings and our lifestyles better.

This past week on my morning walk in the park, I let go and let trees. I let it all of it go to the trees, calming my anxiety and counting my breaths. Sometimes it works, sometimes other things work, but for me, it’s best to keep it simple, and get ahead of the anxiety before it rages out of control. Meditation, connecting to nature, and exercise all release the calming chemicals into our bodies. Wishing Simplicity and Serenity in this moment, calm and loving kindness. TGIF my friends.
