Hi mate,
If you're feeling a little overwhelmed at the moment, try the following:
1. Stop or drastically reduce your reliance of alcohol. Getting out of mind problems, you got to start by making it healthy. Stopping drinking will clear your mind to help you on your way. Alcohol just impairs your judgement.
2. Don't use diazepam or any other benzodiazapines. They may seem to help initially, but they quickly become a crutch and you will want to rely on them, adding to your addictions.
3. Ditch caffeine and use caffeine-free/decaf alternatives. Caffeine wreaks havoc on your mind by overstimulating it. This was the no 1 factor of my anxiety problems. Ditching this was like switching off my anxiety.
4. Exercise. Get out and do some walking. You don't have to run marathons, plenty of walking is fine. Go look around, find out stuff that interests you. Take photos, talk to people.
5. Take a notepad and pen and write down a list of the things bothering you. Then tackle each one individually, making notes on how you will make better or eliminate your problems. Writing them down allows your mind to let go of them instead of them swirling around your head all the time.
6. Get sleep. Put the phone down and get plenty of sleep. A good sleep can help you feel so much better.
7. Keep hydrated. Drink plenty of fluids, preferably water, your brain is mostly water and dehydration can affect your mind.
8. Get some easy music on an mp3 player and go listen to it at a beach or park to chill out.
Mind problems can be really debilitating at times, but if you treat it well and give it a break to let it relax, you can overcome them and come out better the other side. I'm living proof of that.
Best of luck. ????
