Im so tired of being anxious all the time. I get so nervous about being paranoid that i end up just sitting around and texting all day. I dont participate in any of my old hobbies. Im so tired of life. Its an endless cycle of anxiety, doing nothing, and boredom.

In stead of letting Anxiety and Boredom win…
try meditation deep breatheing, counting anything but letting your feeling and mind wonder into that deep dark
area.
Me too have vicious cycle of paranoia and anxiety it’s exhausting. I Have made improvements though. After 4 pm I’m able to do some reading which is good distraction

Have you tried drinking tea / herbal drinks non caffeinated ? or tried scented candles while trying to meditate ?
or have you tried drawing or reading books / working on something you can build or design ?
Sorry just trying to be helpful
Yes. Ive tried adult coloring books. They help a little bit. My anxkety has gotten a lot worse ever since i quit drinking. It wasnt this bad before but now i get super anxious at 10am till 6pm. I have butterflies, toght chest, racing thoughts, heart beats hard. I want my doctor to up my PRN but he is hesitating to do it in fear of over medicating me.
I like to draw but sometimes i get paranoid when i finish. I lose track of reality. Same with video games and TV. Its like if i do anything for over 30 minutes i get paranoid

Vistaril 25mg. The recommended dosage for itching. It doesn’t do anything for my anxiety

yes I get anxious too. nearly life long. i can get to usually 11am without feeling anxious. I’ve got my medicine today and feel fine. was too anxious to go to a concert last night. an old favorite band. was even going to bring my father but I ditched.
I used to have klonopin but they wont give it to me anymore I don’t think. xannax in my younger days. I always used the prescription to fax to an indian pharmacy website and get extra. I was getting high off the adderal. but times were good and no one cared. i don’t think it’s possible anymore but I don’t really look. oh it’s the pull of a tide just thinking about it.

Have you tried L-theanine as a supplement? That works wonders for anxiety if you take a large enough dose.
I just recently started taking it. 200mg
How large a dose
I tried it did nothing for my anxiety. Can’t remember what dose
How do you take it . At a regular time or as and when
Take 600mg in the morning at 10am when your anxiety kicks in. Then report back.
The FDA recommends a max dose of 1200mg a day.
Some brands of L-theanine are no good. I hope you have a good brand.
Try 600mg in one go.
I found it’s best to take the doses at the same time everyday. I’ve set up reminders on my phone.

I get anxiety too .
Just after I’ve taken my latuda after dinner I get anxiety and just want to sleep so I’m not feeling it but have insomnia so can’t.
I think insomnia is a side effect from latuda.
Medication?
I’m going to try to get medication to help me.
I’m good in the morning and middle of the day but afternoon and evening and night is usually bad.
